Image result for an Hourglass Depicting Human Lives

. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Temporarily I had control Flipping the clear hourglass over The sand starts to flow freely Slipping, skipping, falling One grain upon each Other until All have passed Through the Hole X Sands Of life Slip slowly Through human hands Permeates all known Until acquaintances Have shared in our sands of life Whether good or evil the deeds Those sands touch on all people we know XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Absolutely! Truth be told, no one gets to heaven before we all do, only reaching lesser levels of grace. We are one, in the heart, soul and body of creation.
