Sandcastle

I've always been told

Time heals all,

But there are things

That need more than time.

It takes more than time

To build a Wall or

To build a bridge .

It takes little to no time

To burn it down.

A Lifetime is how long it took

To build myself up.

I fought long and hard

To be strong enough,

To protect myself.

It took years of abuse,

before I had the strength

To pick myself up.

I love the ocean,

but I can't swim.

I love to watch the waves.

Thats why I built my Castle

by the sea.

For years,

I let myself be swept away.

I finally realized

that a Sandcastle couldn't stay by the sea.
