Volume Like the sands in an hourglass Our life-time will flow The passing of each second Gently stored below The sand’s flow has a limit Our life here an aim Although we will never know How much time remains Birth gifts a certain volume A measure yet to flow But kindness we share in life Enables it to grow Once all of our sand is spent We alone take blame If the volume in our hourglass Has remained the same Brian Beaudry |

(sigh) So very sad but well-written, sweet friend, I pray that will never be the case and we will all grow rich in love and compassion to others as time goes by so we can all have something to be proud of and happy for when ones time is up! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, your heart is always flowing with pure love, God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Brian, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

There is always great volume in your poetry. Brian, please don't ever put down that pen, nor that camera. (Except to hug your family.) |

Brian, I think the sand in my hourglass is a little damp...or at least it seems to be stuck. Interesting concepts you have presented here. Kethry. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
