Breath Turns Into Vapor

Though another year has come and gone
And all are older still
I thank God for His many blessings
Yet still long to know His will.

Each grain of sand falls just as before
Though the space is narrow
Honestly, I feel a great deal less
Than the ever-eyed sparrow.

As age envelopes my mind and body
Life's memories begin to taper
Strivings and plans matter not
As breath turns into vapor.

~ L. Bell (2009)
