Sacrifices daily, leave you less and less,

Pressure all around you , taken breath by breath,

Pieces of a puzzle, slowly put together,

Pieces of a puzzle, to be lost forever.

Dreams of frolicking in the sand,

Discarded like a beaten hand.

Sands of time have placed you here,

A land of lonely broken fear,

An enveloping pool of shattered tears,

Created gradually over years and years.

Keep present the ones that mean the most,  

In the end, we'll make a toast,

To celebrate the times we've had,

Whether good, or mildly bad,

At least will have each others will,

When the sands of time stand still.
