SAND CASTLES IN THE SKY

Droplets of salty spray from ocean waves,
drenched his ashen face 
As he stood looking out far beyond the horizon,
to a long off place
He thought of the days they had ran
as children, along the shore
Hand in hand splashing in waves,
until they reached the craggy tor

Then they`d climb until breathless,
and have to rest on even ground
All they could hear were breaking waves
as well as the seagulls,eerie sound
Many days were spent together by the ocean,
with sand between their toes
Building castles, investigating rock pools,
collecting shells, placing them in rows

He remembered she would always find
the prettiest mother of pearl
she would be in awe of their beauty
being a typical girl
he would go along with her tell her
she was just the best, at finding shells
As they sat on the craggy tor,waves crashing below
with the sound of seagulls yells

And now as he reminisced of his childhood
spent with her, tears began to fall
he realized he had always loved her
always putting her above all
Now it was to late to tell her,she had died this day
he had come to say goodbye
But his thoughts staring across the ocean were,
ill be with you soon my love,building sand castles in the sky
