Charles Messina Poet Verse

Every Grain of Sand

As I sit on the beach...on a warm breezy night 
With my pole by my side, waiting for a bite 
I reach down and try to fill my hand 
And try to hold every grain of sand 
Each grain is a life, a life here or gone 
From generations...a passed baton 
To hold them close...so they all feel touch 
God's gift, I love...I love so much 
On a warm breezy night, I sit on the beach 
Stretching my hands...as far as they'll reach 
Every grain of sand...sent down from above 
God's gift; so much...so much, I love  


(Every Grain of sand- Lizz Wright)
