Thankful

The sound of the chirping birds
Over the sands of the beach
Accompany me
As I chase ghost
Into the waves of time
Watching my jewels shine bright
From the light of the sunshine
Carving into the sand
Building a way
So that their dad could say
Whatever a dad says...
The ghost of time
Has opened my eyes
Helping me realize
Nothing last forever
Holding hands at sunset
The laughter simmers
In the end kids grow up
And love fades away
But the birds chirping sounds
Echo forever into the ripples
Of each and every wave
That I could not save
As the salty waters
Dripping from off my hands.
Forever is never
Forever is now
Today is tomorrow
Yesterday is gone.
