Build


Build a purpose,

More than money can claim,

where foundation is soil,

not investments.

Build a seaside,

For the bounty and joy, 

Not for the income to industry.

Build me a skyline,

With beautifl sunshine,

And an endless sea,

Not a plastic beach.

Build a world of trees,

Not a painting of the scenery.

Build me,

No who I should become.
