Life is like an hourglass,
the sand is like your life…
You have a limited amount of sand.
This is not bad because some day you will be in heaven with God.
You will be free to pray with God with all eternity,
and sing with all the angels in heaven above…
In a list
Please tell me what you think

So true
For each grain that drops within the hourglass of time let them be laced with love for an eternity divine

UMMM yeah, alittle simplistic for a large topic, you could of done soo much with the hour glass, after 'not bad' it seems like plagerism, for these ideas can be rhymed or themed to counting the grains in examples of life or well something other than this dream that is misinterpreted by so many and is kind of like macdonalds or the simpsons, And so im sorry but i cannot applaud yet hope that you can use this to produce something alittle more original, anyways your start is promising so with a time machine -JAS

Narrow...
You're addressing a 10 year old on this one, that posted here before she got her own account.
Whom I'm proud to say is far from a plagerist!
But thanks for the perspective. Try reading A Shark's Parlor. You might find this more your speed.
Salute!

I love the image of the hourglass in this. It really brings home a lot, but at the same time- the rest of the poem does to create a sense of comfort...
loved it!

This speaks volumes. One day we shall find peace when we finally reach our final home. This offers me great comfort. Thank you for your wisdom and words.

A great metaphor you have used in this poem - easy to read and understand the sentiments you have expressed here - there is life after death.
-
beautiful
such beauty...life IS like an hourglass, and you are limited to how long it lasts! for some shorter than others, and some get to live out their life to the fullest! you depicted such truth in this! i really enjoyed reading this piece.

Beautiful sentiment that's for sure. You have done an outstanding job on this poem. I loved the thoughts you expressed as you are so eloquent with the words. Great piece and an excellent job.

This is a nice way of looking at it. Sweet! It's true...there is only so much "sand" in the hourglass for each of us before we return to God. I feel that the sand is running out for me...and I am trying to relish each and every last grain of it!
-
this is very true. i am so thankful that i can not see that hourglass slipping sand through time before my eyes. that would be scary. good write. viyanna rosemarie

This is a nice metaphorically written piece. Good job.
-
I liked the metaphor comparing life to sand trickling through an hourglass. Beautiful!

interesting
life comes and life goes but the soul is eternal. as the time runs out in the sands of time all we have is our souls to give away and when we do we can life eternally. the imagery and the expression of the poem was amazing. great job -
This is a great powerful analogy.....i so loved it..the imagery is awesome and the spiritual message intense...great write....

I read the words before me as the sands of time keep moving slowly I hope...full of imagery with descriptive expression your words flow well and have a real good feel to them. Thank you for the pleasure of the read.

This is a very enjoyable read you have here my friend!!! overall, i found this to be written very well and full of wwell placed alliteration and your rhyme and meter are so great with this one that i have become completely amazed!!!!
-
wow amazing poem... how it makes the heart bleed... This is such a dramatic poem. Vivied imagery and strong emotions makes this poem stand out. A real attention grabber that makes one stop and think. Well done dear poet. Well written indeed! I very much like the way that you wrote it the way it portrays life. It's very well structured; most people, (including me) can't break poetry up very well. I guess it depends on mood, for me. You have considerable talent at putting deep emotion into words.
