The Hourglass


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I pray that each of you will draw some meaning from the “Hourglass” that may shine a little hope into your lives and for the understanding of patient endurance through the years of your trials. For me, in the outstretched hands of time, that I might share with one and all, in voice of whispered sands . . . comes rhyme, a glorious season to befall . . . And ere your winter woodland’s snow, To all your flowered field a bloom, Though chill and frost and wind may blow, Let spring within thy heart resume . . . To make you smile


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amen

There’s an hourglass on the mantle
That’s been my dearest friend
For only God and time do know
Their powers that they mend
As I, with every breath I take
Have found it all so true
With every feeling thought you send
I give them back to you
To make you smile
=> I’ve carried with me always
A dream or two you see
And though it may seem childish
Such dreams have rescued me
From all the weakest moments
That tried to steal my soul
Because I knew that you believed
That I would find my role
To make you smile
There’s an hourglass on the mantle
That has a voice to say
With such the softest calling
With me to always pray
That I would find you once again
Before it is too late
But my patience seems to wear so thin
It is my heart that breaks
To make you smile
=> But patience has so taught me
Of time . . . We should not fear
For those who do believe in God
He wipes away our tear
And if every waiting hour grows
The nearer to your touch
Then I will wait a lifetime
A dream I love so much
To make you smile
There’s an hourglass on the mantle
I’ve been watching day by day
From sunrise of the morning
Till it sets . . . This prayer I pray
That somehow through this darkness
Because you were the one
That you would find this message
Before my life was done
To make you smile
=> One day the rain had fell so hard
And the sun had lost its rays
But I knew that of these moments
They are Thy teaching ways
That we should never lose our hope
Whatever it may seem
And still you send your Angels
That guide us through a dream
To make you smile
There’s an hourglass on the mantle
Each grain of sand I knew
Between the orbs of Light and dark
On mounted wings they flew
An Angel sent for every seed
To guard us through all time
To help us with our every need
To gather hearts to rhyme
To make you smile
=> And then one day the Angel came
And took me by the hand
To share with me a secret
That was buried in the sand
I cried out to the Heavens
And thanked our God for you
If even for a moment
He made my dreams come true
To make you smile
There's an hourglass on the mantle
So dear, so dear to me
That holds a grain of meaning
Between the land and sea
A divider for God's children
For minds who understand
Of He . . . with time and patience
Does share His love so grand
To make you smile
=>
Amen
Michael
