Like sands through the hourglass . . . so are the days of our lives.
Do you remember those words? If you grew up in a certain era and your mother was a homemaker, you probably do.

They quoted Socrates who said, “Our lives are but specks of dust falling through the fingers of time. Like sands of the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.”
