I am but a vapor
My time will soon be gone
The carousel will then be stopped
This ride that I am on
I am but a flower
The petals they do fall
A bending rose that does proclaim
The coming of the fall
I am but a voice
That spoke a word today
The echo in a canyon
You hear then goes away
I am but a grain of sand
The tide will wash and roll
Significant for just a while
But time will take its toll
My life is but a vapor
The noise a kettle makes
Heat applied this little ride
Is all the effort takes
As I go I’ll let you know
This ride I have been on
So brief at best…
It has been blessed
Tho vapor soon is gone
