I have a poem on an hour glass. Maybe I'll post soon. The ending is perfect. For me death is not far away.

For my mom, it's not far either. We can only enjoy the everyday moments to their fullest. With the way the world is turning crazy, it won't be such a bad thing to reach the end.

Thanks, timothy. So true about our lyrics never being heard. I just had my most humorous poem put to music and the composer made it SO GOOD, but it's a Broadway type thing and the chance of it being picked up for any show is next to nothing. I would be in heaven if it garnered any fame!!

"Like sands in the hourglass..." Yes, someday all of our experiences will be past; and, when that happens the bottom will be full. May yours be filled with the most delightful, exciting, memorable happenings from then to then. Best of luck in the contest.
