Sandcastles

"Daddy look at all the sandcastles"

"Aren't they all so grand?"

"Who could have known a king and his throne,

Could simply be made out of sand"

"Look at the beautiful towers"

"I wonder if a princess lives there"

"I'll bet she is kind, they're so hard to find,

With beautiful long flowing hair"

My daughter loved to go to the beach

She loved the sandcastles the best

But she didn't know her heart was too slow

And soon they would open her chest

It's funny sometimes how time can fly

It only seems like yesterday

With some complication during her operation

My daughter has passed away

I still go to the beach from time to time

To see the sandcastles on display

I still close my eyes and say my goodbyes

Each time I hear her say

"Daddy look at all the sandcastles"

"Aren't they all so grand?"

"Who could have known a king and his throne,

Could simply be made out of sand"
