Sandcastles

Down by the sea
We make our castles in the sand
All day in the sunshine
We shape our master plan
Skies of blue and clouds of white
Pass over all the day
A moat before the castle wall
To keep the danger away
A mighty fortress built from sand
Glistens in the sun
The day is almost over
Our work is nearly done
Then dusk sneaks in to steal the light
The castle where she lay
Slips into the sea, into the night
The fortress melts away
Life, like castles in the sand
Is only a momentary thing
We never know how long it will last
Or what each day will bring
So build yourself a castle
A mighty fortress way up high
That rain and tide cannot destroy
A castle in the sky.....

    very nice.
    lay down all thoughts; surrender to the void

  • I was there. . .
    Can't you see that there's light in the dark.
    Nothing's quite what it seems in the city of dreams.

    The inspiration came from Matthew 6:19-24
    "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

    I love this one and the inspiration for it! Wonderful! :):)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!
