Castle in the Sand

Magical but Fragile here I stand.

Am just a Castle in the sand,

Am the Magic of a patient hand,

A nervous Heart but no Magic Wand.

Those playful waves, just eye me so,

Taunting and teasing as they go.

At times they throw out a shell or two

Beautiful adornments, they just make do.

But every shell comes with a price,

A part of me they take in a trice.

Those patient hands, they try again,

A wish so strong, can't be in Vain.

Am not a life thats here to stay,

I'll be a moment or just a day.

A glance, a smile, a beating heart,

But never a tear when I depart !

Magical but fragile here I stand

Am just a Castle in the sand.
