Ashley Harris Poem
Life begins - start the timer
Watch as each grain of sand falls to the bottom
Each one is a passing moment in time
A special memory, maybe even every breath...
You watch each moment in time pass
And then you realize -
The hourglass is half finished.
The clock continues to tick
Tick, tock, tick
What is it you have accomplished while each grain fell to the bottom?
Now you reminisce, think back to memories
But while you're thinking back,
More sand falls to the bottom
You begin to panic - there's not much time left
But then you realize everything that happened should be cherished
Just like every moment, maybe even every breath...
The last grain of sand just fell.
It cannot be turned upside down -
You only get one hourglass - one chance to live
Each grain of sand should be cherished, and never wasted.

Ashley Harris Poem
Let's just take a step back
Rewind this moment in time
Get ourselves back on track
Just wished this train would stop on a dime.
But instead it keeps on rolling
Rolling straight through my heart
You have no idea how much this hate is growing,
It is literally tearing me apart.
But now you'll never know
The feelings that I've hidden
Except for what I choose to show
And if you read this, everything I've just written.
