Grains of Sand Whisper Across Your Face

Grains of sand whisper across your face.
Your smile dawns bright as the sun.
Things confusing are now put in place
While in the wet sand your fingers run.

The wind sings your name.
The birds dance and shout.
I’ll carry your flame.
It can never burn out.

For as the sun sets
And the frogs sing your song,
This memory will be kept
In my heart, where it belongs,

And the sand remains ever
on the beach
Where kids play forever
And love is what they teach.
