Sand castles are built

Grain by grain, molded into

Our wishes and dreams

Often towering

Over our reason, passions

Overwhelm logic

Dreams built too tall will

Crumble under their own weight

Fall back down to Earth

Castles built of air

Of fictional images

Fade to black in time

When the dust settles

And vision again is clear

Waves washed clear the ground

Sand starts to sparkle

Drawing our interest anew

Solid foundations

We’ll take time to build

Stabilizing and bracing

Offering support

Encouraging growth

Fostering the confidence

To grow and mature

Icy winds blow hard

But castle walls are bolstered

Doubts and fears vanish

Commitment will come

Longevity is our goal

A solid castle

Stable, lasting home

For our dreams and wishes

King, Queen, and Princess
