Toil

We are the voice on the wind 
We are the vapor in the cloud
It is us that is a grain in the hourglass

All our chasing, 
All of our fumbling
It is us with callused empty hands

We today regret
We tomorrow lose
It is our burden having forgotten simple things

Our purpose not our plan
Our happiness not our hard work
It is grace that sets us free.
