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 neverending
 Universe.



 If each one us were 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.
