Life In An Hour Glass
Sometimes I feel as if
I live in an hour glass,
buried beneath a ton of
relentless sand.
We run, work, stay busy
Make grand plans for
the tomorrows that
arrive much too soon.
Whenever life overwhelms
I pause to think about you
The Lonely Author 
Oh I love this! I can so relate! Well done. Smiles.

I liked the last sentence as it shows no matter how caught up you may be with daily humdrum of life, you pause to think of that special “you” to draw strength from. Nice!

Love the way you interpreted this. Exactly as I wanted. We need that person who can make the chaos and craziness of life a little more bearable. Lucky for me, my wife does just that.
Thanks for sharing your thoughtful comments.

Nice poem
One of the tragedies of life is the grand plans we have but are unable to actualise because of one or two things.
All the same, even if you feel as if you live under tons of sand, always keep your head up.
