A house built on a splendid beach, <br />To watch the rising of the sun, <br />And gentle waves would come up to reach, <br />The feet of the chosen one. <br /> <br />But the beach turned treacherous you see, <br />And the sands would shift and slide, <br />And enormous waves came from the sea, <br />And took the house out with the tide. <br /> <br />Heart broken then the chosen one, <br />Sat on the beach and just took stock. <br />And saw what the sea had done, <br />And thought ' next time I'll build on rock ' <br /> <br />7/23/10 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-chosen-one-6/
