Every grain of sand means something

And so I build a sandcastle

Of things that are important to me

Every pillar, window, and wall

Holds something important inside it

The sound of seagulls hovering above me

The sound of the calming ocean

The crunching of sand

All help me relax

To build my sandcastle

But the ocean is not a nice person

For I built my sandcastle too close 

All my mistakes the ocean knows

Ruin all the important things I used to build

My sandcastle

It’s gone.

The sandcastle I worked so hard to build

Is now a pile of mush

That I must build up again

Only to be ruined once again.

Every grain of sand means something important.
