The Sands Of Time Poem by PAUL COLVIN

The sands of time are shifting fast
Sifting through two lovers past
We thought our love would never end
But here I am alone again.
In shadows I can see your face
Smiling eyes, filled with grace
Choirboys sing out your name,
The Heavens cried and angels came.
They gathered ‘round where you had lain
Looked at me and felt my pain
They sang a hymn to you my love,
The love I was so proud of.
They carried you up in their wings
And took you to, where angels sing
I hear their voices singing still,
And will do every day until
They come for me and take me to
The love who shared my whole life through
And though shadows cannot take her place,
At least in them I see her face.
