The Hourglass
How will you die?
What will that moment be like
We all think about it from time to time
Even more so as the years go by
Will it happen real fast
In the blink of an eye
Gone too soon
To reflect on your past
Or will death be a slow dance
Would you say all you feel
To those you love
If you were given the chance
Will you die with dignity and class
Knowing this world is not your home
Or will you try to grasp the grains
Of sand before they fall through the glass
God takes away but he also gives
So breathe in your life
And then ask yourself
How will you live?
