With stick in my hand
Etching words in the damp sand
Tides rushing to shore
Licking words till they are gone
Love letters in sand no more!

Tides can not delete
Love which lives deep in the heart
Love etched in concrete
Enduring till time must end
And lovers have had to part.

Life ebbing away
Returning back to the sea
Tides rushing to shore
Deleting till life no more
Love letters of heart remain
