The Grains of Sand
The sands of time flow freely
Time, we say, seems to fly
Hours feel like minutes or seconds
The rising sun sets quickly in the sky
Time, we say, seems to fly
Hours feel like minutes or seconds
The rising sun sets quickly in the sky
The hours will continue to pass
Over this we have no say
But how we spend our time determines
The worth and promise of each new day
When we judge, demean or belittle
When we hurt to keep control
We waste the sand in that hourglass
We waste the joy that feeds our soul
Time does not slow down for us
Each minute we live is time we have earned
Pay attention to life as it flows through the hour glass
For each grain of sand is a lesson we have learned
