&lt;span style="size:8pt;"&gt;Photo from &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/photo/2007/08/02/PH2007080200535.html" target="_blank"&gt;The Washington Post&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How fragile is life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That the world can fall away&lt;br&gt;beneath your feet.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's a truth we so often ignore, &lt;br&gt;block-out, forget,&lt;br&gt;and try to bury.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But at times like these&lt;br&gt;it rears its ugly head,&lt;br&gt;as if to tease our very souls.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your life is but a speck in the sands of time,&lt;br&gt;A blot upon the earth,&lt;br&gt;A chasing after the wind.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Who will remember you when your gone?&lt;br&gt;And how will your hoardings&lt;br&gt;grant you redemption?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;If the world fell away from beneath your feet,&lt;br&gt;Would you be ready&lt;br&gt;To stand through the falling?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Or will you have someone to catch you in His arms,&lt;br&gt;To hold you close,&lt;br&gt;and wipe away your tears.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Someone to give your life meaning.&lt;br&gt;Someone to banish the pain.&lt;br&gt;Someone to carry you home.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
