Sandcastle in Secret by Jess Orleans

He invited her to build a sandcastle,

And told her to keep it a secret.
He told her that they should not tell
The rosebud by the wishing well.
And so they built their sandcastle,
And hid it from everyone else.                                                                                                                    
Months went by, and they continued to build
Their sandcastle in secret.
Then one day, he decided to stop
And invited her to do the same.
Although she doubted, she did not complain,
For she thought that nothing would change.
But one day she heard from the Northern Star,
That he was building something from afar.
She heard that he was building a sandcastle,
A sandcastle in secret
"Is he building it alone?" she asked,
And the Northern Star said no.
"He's building it with the lady,
Who lives on the other side
But people are slowly finding out,
For they're running out of places to hide."
She felt betrayed, and cussed out loud
She cried and could not believe it.
Oh how she wished she never built
That sandcastle in secret.
