A poignant philosophical poem, Gershon. Gives one pause to think. Shalom, good poetry friend.

Well stated as usual, Gershon. I wonder why I am still here at 86.

Yes, the hourglass, a stark reminder. A sobering poem Gershon.

I believe we should start an inquiry into the activities of the "time" keeper...

the first line definitely caught my attention. Thanks for the reminder--no one days before his time. So who am I to cry when someone's time comes (or even my own) Everything in its own time. A few lines with a great message. Thanks & have a splendid day, Sara
