'Hour Glass' Poem by Whitney Nicole Albright*

Is your life like an hour glass?
The sand moves form slow to fast
First everything was at the top
And then it all starts to drop
Pouring down from a hole so small
More and more sand starts to fall
All of the grains slip right through
Pouring to the very bottom of you
The mountain at the bottom gets steeper
The void at the top grows deeper
Suddenly, all becomes still
Your life's at the bottom, how does it feel
When all the sand has finally dropped?
When all of your pride as suddenly stopped?
You try and find out what to do
But the answer is to find that God loves you
Pick each small grain from the ground
And the lord will turn you back upside down!
