When was the last time you built a sandcastle?

Oh, you should build 

sandcastle again! 

And keep young always.  

Keep close to children. 

To while time away. 

Keep the innocence 

of not all knowing. 

To be yourself again.

Building Sandcastles on Morong Beach, Bataan

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, while in tender years;

grownups who did, live up in good cheers;

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, fairy tale or true,

for life's but a passing review. ~
