Castles Made of Sand [1]

This was my Dad's favorite poem of all that I have written.
Castles Made of Sand
I don't know where I'm going
And I don't know where I am.
I've been following this dream so long
That I can barely stand.
I don't know what tomorrow brings
Or what the fates have planned.
I can only wait and see
If my castles are made of sand.
Dreams are made of clouds
And waves with silvery crests.
Dreams are made of stardust
And touch with a warm caress.
Dreams are made of love
And hopes you can't forget.
Dreams can keep you going
When there is nothing left.
My dreams have kept me going
Through long and lonely years.
Dreams have kept my faith alive
Abd dried my many tears.
But dreams are gone by morning
And daylight brings new fears
That my castle walls will crumble
And leave me standing here.
My castles may be made of sand
And won't stand the test of time.
At least I dared to dream
And the memories are all mine.
For if you can not dream
If you dare not cross the line
Into hopes and promises
Both subtle and sublime
Your life will be as empty
As that lonely stretch of land
Without even the beauty
Of a castle made of stand.
[END]
