The Timeless Hourglass
A Rare Symbol of the Passage of Time
An hourglass of glass, with sand that flows,
A rare symbol, of time's ebb and flows.
With each grain, that falls from top to bottom,
A reminder, that life moves on, and time's forgotten.
*
The sand, a symbol, of life that fades,
And the glass, a symbol, of life that's made.
For each grain that falls, is a moment that's lost,
And each one that remains, is a moment at cost.
*
For time is a treasure, that's rare and so bright,
A force that moves on, in day and in night.
And the hourglass reminds us, of this truth so grand,
That time waits for no one, and flows like shifting sand.
*
So cherish each moment, and hold it so tight,
For time is a treasure, that fades in the night.
And the hourglass reminds us, of life's fleeting grace,
A rare symbol, of the passage of time, that we embrace.
