life is like sand flowing away



The beggar with eyes of lost hope
Sitting alone unkempt clothing
Watching the people walking by
With his wooden stick lying by his side

The youth of his time
He didn't think he would become a beggar
Begging to have a meal to survive
When he thought he could make it big

Decades later he is out
Injuries and no family
He is left alone to fend for himself
Now on the street begging for a living

When you wake up
You find you have nothing to fall on
You are alone seeing the world
Broken, no hope, no family

The beggar tells us a story
Don't always think you have the time
Life is like sand flowing away
Within seconds it can be gone
