There comes a moment in your life

That you wish to hold onto

But it slips away from your grasp

Just like sand falling through your fingers

Whilst sitting on a beach.

Time has taken it away

Is it now beyond your reach?

Blown away by the wind

Into what is now the past

Oh how we wish that, that moment

For a little longer could last

But time robs us of many a thing

As we sit and listen to the wind sing.
