When was the last time you built sandcastles?

"Build sandcastles, fairy tale or true, 
for life's but a passing review."

A family building sandcastle. Nasugbu, Batangas 2016

Build sandcastles, they make dreams come true,

on a flying magic carpet’s view;

Build sandcastles and copy the clouds,

faces of creatures behind a shroud;

Build sandcastles and meet the Martians,

the Aztecs, the cowboys and Indians.

Build sandcastles, poet Milton long aimed:

Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained;

Build sandcastles along the river,

playground of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer;

Build sandcastles, and meet Peter Pan,

Casper, Nemo, in the world of fun;

Build sandcastles and hunt for treasure

in the Pyramids and Aegean shore;

Build sandcastles for pleasure and pain

in Great Expectations by Mark Twain;

Build sandcastles, they bring back the past,

when you're young and never cease to ask;

Build sandcastles, tall as the Eiffel,

until the sun sets and the winds chill;

Build sandcastles and reach out to sea,

to the unknown and risk to be free;

Build sandcastles, while in tender years;

grownups who did, live up in good cheers;

Build sandcastles, fairy tale or true,

for life's but a passing review. ~
