my little bit of sand

I own a little bit of sand
a patch of sand by the sea 
it's just a scrubby bit of land
but it belongs to me 

behind that tiny stretch of sand 
a river runs along 
and all beside the dusty road 
the palm trees whisper song 

and just in front of my piece of sand 
the ocean stretches wide 
the sun comes up at the back of it 
in front, sinks down at night 

I love my scrubby bit of land 
it holds my house of dreams 
and though there's nothing there but sand 
it all belongs to me
