Stone and Marshmallow Castles

Brick upon each brick I build As I stack heavy stones one by one Sweat and tears, love and fears To create an earthly castle under the sun. Damages by hurtful weather come, Ravages against a fortress that was strong With scrapped knees and promised pleas, I feel defeated, do you hear my song My sweet so sweet, little girl With marshmallows, I will form A castle complete, where we can meet I wish to protect you from the storm Like a father, you take my hand Guiding me to our castle in the sky No longer bound, to earth by stone The world less daunting from on high Look at the earth far down below Above we're illuminated by the sun The best part is your princess smile You open the drawbridge for everyone With open arms you greet each child Joy everlasting awaits each one Within this castle, where the angels meet, Built with love and warmed by the sun A collaboration with Casarah Nance. Thanks for inviting me to write, it was a pleasure. Written August 7, 2015 By: Casarah Nance & Richard Lamoureux For Shadow Hamilton's "Partner up" contest.
