Human Sandcastles

we build ourselves up
into what we want to be...
life's tide erodes us

This is a wonderuful Haiku, Jim. And if you're talking about superficial stuff, yes, life does erode..not the real stuff that you are made of. Your inner strength, your heart and soul, the love for your family, your children... still it's wise introspection! Love, Audrey
