I stand beside the ocean blue, <br />The sun glimmering off the wave’s <br />I watch the people scurry about, <br />Where children happily play. <br /> <br />Sand castles here, sand castles their, <br />Up and down the shore, <br />The waves come in and cover them, <br />Then they are seen no more. <br /> <br />Palms trees blowing in the wind, <br />As if to say hello, <br />There palm limbs look like waveing hands, <br />Casting shadows on the sand below. <br /> <br />Umbrellas blowing down the beach. <br />Like Autumn leaves falling to the ground, <br />They tumble here, they tumble their, <br />As people chase them down. <br /> <br />The sun so hot, the sand not cool, <br />Suntan lotion in every hand, <br />Enjoy yourself at a beach today, <br />Building castles in the sand. <br /> <br />Auther, <br />Franklin C Spriggs<br /><br />Franklin Spriggs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sand-castles-2/
