Such a golden child
Sat on shining surf-side sand
and giggled as the foaming waves
glistened through her hand

Such a golden thimble
She clutched with nimble grip
And with a childs ferocity
Helped the ocean soak the land

A thimble at a time she tossed
the salty sea my way
as I knelt beside our castle
and watched my child at play

How futile, yet courageous,
my lovely golden girl,
to scoop the deep with thimbles
and fling it at the world!

How like my child at play are we
who plumb the depths of God
and with a golden thimble full
of glistening words

Explain eternity
