As I walk
through the dreary haze of life,
I wonder as people talk.
Do they see time as if a knife,
cutting us all to size?

We possess no power,
we have no control to make the clock cower.

In the end,
it’s all meaningless.
In the end,
are we pointless?

What of our time here?
Does it matter if they remember?
If we are forgotten,
does the world keep on without stoppin'?

The sands of time -
as pretty as a chime,
yet cruel as a vicious crime!

Do we pass this test?

I cannot believe that our lives have no meaning.  We make our contributions, good or bad.  It is up to us.  Joyce

I think our deeds live on behind us, even if only to be handed down in memory from one generation to another of our family.

As Solomon said, life is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. I believe in the end, what we do or have done will not matter. I think it's far more important, more meanfingful then that. The are things we can't control. I just hope we all figure them out.

Sincerely,
Titus
