Building Castles

On the gold sand we built ruins
and made myths just for us.
We saw them outlast the tides
from our pillar up on the hills.
We returned and built a fortress
and it stood there longer still.
The shoreline filled the moat
and the sun rays made it glow.
Years wash and still I remember
and would always do it all again.
Although your youth is numbered,
building castles I'll never grow old.

i felt a parent building castles with a child...and the child outgrows doing that...but the parent feels he or she could do it forever...
i just love the positiveness of this one.
enjoyed being able to read a poem and smile.
and then i stopped smiling for a second, because i remembered how awful i was at building sand castles....they were nothing more than packed mounds of sand. :))))
