A Day At The Beach
I hear the waves crashing onto shore
And the sound of the gulls spotting prey
I smell the salt and taste the sea
And spot the sun in its array
The sand is warm and the water is clear
And trouble seems so far away
I feel safe in my happy place
Where dolphins love to laugh and play
I watch the swirl the tide leaves behind
And see as it drags and tumbles a shell
I wonder to myself where has it been
And what kind of stories could it tell
It has seen the mysteries of the depths
And has traveled so many a mile
Now broken and jagged by its journey
Another thought dawns and I smile
I too am tumbling along life’s shore
The serenity of sand just out of reach
Broken and jagged from time’s current
Living my life, like a day at the beach
