there laid a grain of sand
the waves smothered it day and night
a local boy felt it between his toes and held it in his hand
over the years he saw a future somewhere afar and followed a light
it lead him away from the where the sand met the water
years passed; growing old he knew that's where he left his heart
but he met a love, his wife now, and they had a daughter
and as she grew taller he watched her grow smart
but he knew there was something missing in her life
reminiscent of where his heart lies and of the days where he felt joy
so the once boy, now man, dragged his daughter and grabbed his wife
they moved to where the water met the sand where his girl met a boy
and here is the cliche happily ever after
that all started on one boys beach
where you can still hear the joyous laughter
