Sand falling through an hourglass A moment every grain Each grain has but one chance to fall To never rise again The hands of time forever turn And cannot be turned back To stop the moments that we love A power that we lack But in our minds those moments live Those moments out of time Those moments gone they still live on Forever in our minds So reach into your memory A place where you will find The moments thought forever lost Someplace, somewhere in time Jack Roberts - March 25, 2004

You forgot just one little thing--didn't Dorothy turn the hourglass over so the sand wouldn't run out? Or am I just dreamin'?
Hey Jack, this is a lovely poem--how's my Illinois neighbor?
