Mortality

I tried to hold on to sands of time,
But it slipped out right through my fingers,
I tried to hold on to the river of memories,
But it swiftly flowed out of my hand,
I tried to keep the flower of love alive,
But to my dismay it withered away,
I tried to capture the gentle breeze of good days,
Never knew that I couldn't capture it,
I tried to hold on to your mortal form,
Alas! It turned to dust and ashes got blown away,
One day we shall meet our maker,
May be sooner, may be late,
We may dream and aspire to be immortal,
But mortality remains as our final fate,
