Time.

Time is wrapped around the entire concept of our being.
As the grains of an hourglass fall so rapidly and freely.
A child is born, and a perished soul is taken home.
Loved ones fade away as a blessing is born.
A lonely husband mourns the loss of his wife.
As Two lovers join together to start a new life.
The once young child that was waiting to be grown.
Going out into the world all on its own.
A mother's lost because her purpose is obsolete.
The father hides his pain so that no one will see.
After time slips away, the child becomes old and faint.
At the end of its depletion, the hourglass breaks.
Leaving life itself to silently slip way.
