A Speck Of Dust

Hopes for today and plans for tomorrow Lofty ideals and noble dreams In an instant can turn into a day of sorrow For Life is short and so fleeting it seems. Time and Goals need to be early married And the young need to focus mind and heart Opportunity never for once tarried. And Success can always quickly depart. In a second, all can be out of sight All men destined to be carcass Like a breath, a flickering candle light We are specks of dust, mere leaves of grass. ---- 'Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain a heart of wisdom.' PSALM 90: 12 Copyright Cynthia Buhain-Baello Februrary 12,2010
