Thimble List

Hug a stranger, create a friend,
Hug again, friendship has no end.
The first grain of sand.

Share a crooked bench, nibble a rib,
Laugh and sing and play and live.
Another grain of sand.

Share a table, bare our toes,
Take a chance, share a barefoot dance.
More and more grains of sand.

Share a heated seat, warm my heart,
Warm my hand, share our thoughts.
Play a song, share it all
Share a kiss, bare our soul

As grains of sand build a beach
Grains of time build we and each

Fill our thimble with the sand that passes
Top to bottom in each others hourglasses.

The sand reveals our pasts, and contains all our tomorrows
Each passing grain, a reminder to be here and in our nows.

The thimble's sand is a list for me and a list for you
Each grain an instant of what we've done and have yet to do
