Lost in the Sands of Time

Lost in the sands of time,

Days become weeks,

Month follow years,

Looking back you wonder,

Did life just pass me by?

***

Memories that are crystal clear in mind,

Are decades away, or was it just a glance,

Foot steps in the sand,

Get washed away by crashing waves,

***

Lost dreams, broken hearts,

Did the world stop?

Hearts mend…. Almost mend!!

New hopes, new dreams…

Scars are there to remind you,

Of hopes struck at the seams,

***

Happy memories, bitter sweet,

A tug at your heart

Was it that long ago?

Where did the years go?

Standing at the edge of time,

Take a deep breath,

Take a step ahead,

Dreams to make,

Hopes to build,

Tears to shed and

Smiles to spread,

***

Life waits for no one,

So spread your wings and take flight,

Seize the day before it fades away

Before you get lost,

Lost in the sands of time…
