Sandy's Castle

Sandy builds a sand castle She build it very high She wants it's sandy towers To reach up to the sky She makes some doors and windows Adds shells for decoration Her friends they look and say to her "What a wonderful creation" Then as the day, it passes on The tide comes in again Poor Sandy's castle is no more Not one part of it remains Our Sandy looks at where it was But she does not mind at all For building it was so much fun She'd really had a ball

Vera: Some good lessons in this. Sometimes we overlook the pleasure of pouring and feel the only enjoyment can come from "consumption". Thanks for a great reminder. Keep them coming and sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck

Doesn't this one remind you of days of old, when I wrote it I thought of the days when I were young playing on the beach and building sand castles, such fun, thank you so much for reading and take care......Vera

This is great, Mrs Vera. The fun part is the building of them. Sandy will be a success in life!

Hi Daniel, well yes I agree with you, building is the fun part and this is me when I was little, we spent a lot of time at the beach in those days and building castles was the best part of it, thank you so much for th lovely comment and take care......Vera

Hello ilene so lovely to see you, thank you for the lovely visit and enjoying my poem, yes I haven't written for a while, neither has Peter, we have both been taking a rest and doing things around the house that we have neglected, but as soon as a poem comes to me I have to jot it down or else I will forget, hope you are well, take care....
