The sand in The hourglass.
A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)
The sand in the hourglass.
I can remember your beauty being like one I have never seen. You had golden hair with pretty blue eyes and ruby red lips; all come with pride and fame, silver and gold, yet I look at you now and you are getting old. Now, when men look, they turn the other way. It hurts me deeply because I look at you the same way. You sit and gaze at the hourglass on the table. You try to turn it over, but you are not able. Because it's glued to the table as you watch the last grain of sand drop down. There are no other men to be found. But I am still around and will never leave.
Dedicated to Amanda.
