Sands Of Time

I'm an old man now
got sand in my shoe
I can't bend over
I can't undo.

And that, which seemed to matter
On the sands of time, I walked upon
An irritation between my heel and soul
Is all that's left..when all is gone

The gray has taken the color
From the autumn of my life
The wrinkles of coming winter
Turned life to black and white.

It's clear now, beyond the time
of sands and my reflection
The face that looks back at me
Reveals a perfect imperfection

I'm just an Old Man now
Who's got sand in my shoe
But find comfort in it now
What's meant to be, I won't undo.

 Ahhh, Yes!! We can't stop the sands of time, so we might as well relax and enjoy.

 Want to thank you all for responding...

Sometimes being here.. is like being alone...

But sometimes... we can find out... we are not....
