The Sun beat down, the air was dry
Not a cloud in sight in the clear blue sky
Stretched on the sand, waves lapping at my feet
The beach the only remedy for this merciless heat
Buckets and spades, sand castles by the sea
The sound of happy children laughing and giddy
The smell of suntan oil that fills the airParasols shading happy families from the sun's harsh glare
Sun-blocked noses, beach towels, ball games in the sea sand
The packed picnics, the deck chairs, the ice lollies bought from the ice-cream van
A time for building sandcastles and frolicking in the water' fun
The splashing, the laughter, the swimming, a welcomed relief from the sun
The Beach a holiday Mecca that beckons you and me
Where Pilgrims flock to the seaside to be carefree
With their towels in hand they leave their lives behind
They spend a day on the beach in the glorious sunshine
They take the world off their shoulders, they let their hair down
Stress removed for the day, their frowns turned upside down
Just Sun, Sea and Laughter, unbridled time to unwind
A day at the beach leaves Stress and Worry behind

Seagull Songs
The ocean embraces the shores of my heart,
I'm lost in the songs of the seagulls.
Salt water dreaming enables
Wake up to the day
checking my clock
and oh my goodness
almost died of shock!
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
