A Day at the Beach
The screams of gulls circling off-shore
The warm, wet sand between my toes
This is the life of which I dreamed
When in winter's chill I shivered
Children running to and fro
Boaters shouting as they leave
What a day to catch a wave
Or a picnic in the sun
The beach has so much to offer
Its almost like its magical
The way it heals our inner self
Using sun and sand and water
So spend a day at the beach
I'm sure that you will agree
That beaches have the power
To heal you in just one day

Slept in too darned late
right past the
I want to spend a day at the beach,
building tall castles in the white sand.
I want to gather colorful seashells,
hold them
