These are your hope and dreams
You watch them being washed away
When the tides come in.
This makes you so very sad
But still you go on building.
Hoping and dreaming that one day
The tides won’t wash your dream house away.
This is your life at present.

I prefer to collect sea-shells,
Shells that I can treasure forever..
Although each one brings a special joy to me
The cherished ones I keep close at hand..
And ever so often, I take out those other shells,
Hold them tightly in my hand,
And recall where and when I found them..
And I smile when I remember the joy that each one brought to me.
This is my life at present.

You watch them being washed away
When the tides come in.

But still you go on building.
Hoping and dreaming that one day

This is your life at present.

I prefer to collect sea-shells,
Shells that I can treasure forever..
Although each one brings a special joy to me

And ever so often, I take out those other shells,
Hold them tightly in my hand,

And I smile when I remember the joy that each one brought to me.

May your lives forever be filled with sandcastles and seashells. And it bring forth more lightheartedness as this poem does.
