Castles In the Sand

This grain of sand which I call me
            like millions more found in the sea
may yet be nothing to the eye
            but strong and wondrous yet am I

As nothing if I walk alone
             now with each other we are stone
Our differences together fit
                        like pieces of a puzzle knit

For as a force forever bound
         we could more than hold our ground
A mighty fortress we can be
                       when we stand in harmony

But castles yet are made of sand
          and hence we now must understand
that threatened always by the sea
                         we must protect our unity

Love the last stanza. There are threats to unity indeed! People need to wipe the sand from their eyes! God bless, Mike!
