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

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

Mad from endless journeys on ceaseless seas.
