The Hourglass
Like sand in an hourglass...
slowly sometimes
usually quickly
but always moving.
Time goes by
hour by hour
minute by minute
second by second.
Tick tock
tick tock!
Do you waste your time?
And fritter it away?
Or do you value
the people in your life?
Make the most
of your day?
Time's a'wastin'
Say "I love you!"
To someone
Or say "I do care!"
Because some day...
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
and we must...
Face the music
of a life well spent
or a life spent
in self-misery.
@JoSH Poetic Popcorn Poetry
This poem was inspired because time is going by too fast. Didn't we think that Y2K was the end? Then 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar? One never knows... Tick, tock, tick, tock... The world may not end tomorrow but each day someone has to say good-bye. What do you believe?
