Life is like a grain of sand; <br />it can slip through your fingers <br />at any time and be lost forever. <br />We must enjoy every minute <br />while we have it <br />in case that too <br />slips through our fingers. <br />Love is a fleeting thing <br />that passes all too quickly through our lives <br />unless we grasp it tightly <br />never letting it go. <br />Our lives are like a grain of sand <br />and will slip through our fingers <br />before we get to enjoy it thoroughly. <br /> <br />20 November 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-grain-of-sand-5/
