I shuffled silently through the sand and wished that he could stay
Just a wondering soul and an aching heart, reaching out to you
Searching for the words to say, to show my love is true
Then I see it there before me, rising out of the evening sand
A castle, although now weathered, once built by loving hand
Created from a worthless form to become a mighty prize
To the sculptors love and steadfast hand, this mighty fortress rise
The castles I build here in the sand as the waves caress the beach
Are threatened with destruction as the tide begins to reach
And this feeble little structure may be beaten and washed away
Unlike the castle I've built in my heart, where you will always stay
May you know my heart is stronger than the fast approaching tide
And you will be protected as in my heart you hide
For I do not deserve you and all the love you give
But I am here to comfort you for in my soul you live
My Dad - A Legacy of Love
Heartaches Are Healed by the Sea
