Somewhere in the vast wasteland

I sit here and wonder
Holding you in the palm of my hand
What is your worth
What can be gained

A single grain of sand
After many years
And an ocean of events
Here you are in my hand

What a life you have had
Being tossed and turned
Ground to almost nothing
Until a single grain remains

Many have passed you by
Trampling and kicking you around
But I have chosen you
To be my treasure

A lowly grain of sand
Changing the glass
That is my life
From clear to a crystal blue

The beauty of my life
That can only come from you
A single grain of sand
That can only be mine

And that, my friends
Is the worth
With everything to gain
Of a single grain of sand
The White Wolf

If life is just a game, when does it end cause I want to get to what is real.

A single grain of sand can make all the difference and tip the balance of life. My life has become richer and fuller since I found this grain. I am glad you liked it.
