Sand Castles

Sand castles ,

Every time we went to the beach I would always bring my bucket and shovel and then we’d sit our blanket out ….and so it began .

That’s what children do !

Then see me as a child because it seems to be that for me life has been nothing more than a sand castle …,

Not a small one ….or one that took no time at all to construct, no not mine !

I’m talking big ass 4 & 5 bedroom estates

that I would build up ….

and then I’d Finnish the construction …take a step or two back from the masterpiece and a quick wave would come and simply wash the entire castle away.

I would cry every time, turn and run to my mommy and then she would say “ it’s ok baby …, just go out there and build a better one “,

And I would.

I have not been to the beach with my bucket and shovel in decades but sure  as am alive that damn wave is there every time…. but I have no mommy to run to anymore…, so how then am I to rebuild my castle in the sand and who is gonna say that’s it gonna be ok ….. so much sand I wonder how many castles it has underneath ?

Avoid the sand traps!
