Autumn Leaves volume 7 number 6 |
We go in the morning and build castles
Seashells and
coffee cans
Shovels and buckets
The sea gulls walk by
The surf fishermen glance and
smile
The wind stings our cheeks with sand
And the ocean waves spray
us
We break for lunch and watch
High tide comes rushing
in
And washes our castles away
You run through the foam and laugh
Another morning and we start again
I wonder why one
bothers
Castles in the sand all wash away
There's nothing left to show
for the work
As we start piling up the sand your eyes twinkle
Then I
understand that we're building
More than just castles in the sand
We're
also building castles in the heart
That no tide will ever wash away.
A-ho!
