Stone Guards 

Standing like guards
beside the ocean
surveying all
of the tidal motions

scarred by the wind
with sand by their feet
forever vigilant 
but happy to greet

these soldiers of time
have stood here for years
watching the world
yet shedding no tears

a testament to life
these stone guardians
who`ll remain on duty
as beach custodians
