AN INSTANCE IN TIME



 Life is but a flash, just as a lightning bolt strikes 
 And is gone,



 The earth is a speck compared to this never ending 
 Universe.



 If each one us was even given a great gift of one        
 Hundred years,



 Like a particle of sand compared again to the age 
 Of our world.



 Like the wind blowing past and gone in the blink 
 Of an eye,



 An instance in time is what we are given to see and 
 Realize.
