Dust in Wind

Every one of us thought our life is short,
So we'll seek joy as we go forth.
Yet few consider life's great strain,
So must live, despite the pain.

"To every thing there is a season,"
A time for all, and God has a reason.
Time alone brings trouble near,
Life ends as we swiftly disappear.

We treasure life, as a gift so grand,
Yet time's value, like gold that will stand.
"Bear another's burdens" so true,
And another one fails it too.

But not too long, as years goes by,
"Man is like a breath" we sigh.
Youth blooms bright, but soon it'll crack,
In dust we'll return, as days go back.

Time won't be remembered by and by,
"For dust thou art" we all must die.
And in the end, we humbly find,
We’re all dust in winds, and in grave we'll lie.

- Jerry N. Bustillo
