Vanishing Sand Castles

Two sand castles or forts were at the end of the walk to the beach from our resort. It was clear so much time and effort were put into the two creations, so naturally I recorded them for posterity with my handy dandy camera. Sure enough, when we returned nearly an hour later, e incoming tide was slowly but surely destroying the most intricate of the two.....but the other had totally disappeared. All that was left was one stick.

As I stood and watched the waves rolling in, I heard a voice behind me.

"Two hours! Two hours of hard, intense work...washed away with just a few waves." The man stood there, sighing, taking pictures of the sand fort as it met its demise.

Ahh..such is life. Sometimes we work so hard for something, but instead of using our strengths and making good choices and decisions, we slip, and a few "waves" reduce it to nothing but wet sand.
