SAND'S OF TIME
The sand's of time, they rush on ever slowly
as mysterious life keeps rushing ever on
sometimes in life we think we've been really clever
but what kindness to others have we done
Have you been kind to someone in deep sorrow
or have you past them quickly by in mocking haste
did you help that soul you though was slowing drowning
a life that pretty much had gone to waste
Have you seen a child that was naked and was hungry
was he crying too, in hopeless thirst
did you rush by with worldy wealth increasing
and think selfishly of your on self first
As life rushed by, did you see a feeble one fall forward
did you listen, as they pitiously cried out for help
did you stand by and watched them as they floundered
and think, there must be something in their life, this fate has dealt
Have you ever fostered scores of helpless children
their homes all destroyed by some mighty storm
or have you thought only of yourself and money
from that far off distand day when you were born
Oh, my friend, just let me truly tell you
life's such an overwhelming wondrous thing
sometimes you get rewards untold for just a little praying
and for hope and joy to others you might bring
Have you been thankful for all of your great possession's
for things that you have held most precious in your life
for childrem, your health, your home and loved ones
your husband or your wife
Oh friend as your life rolls slowly, slowly onward
have you done poorley or have you done real fine
for it's only you that can conquor life's most precious moments
and slow the sands of time
