Not to return, she left her pail
upon the glistening sand.
Then ran into the mighty break,
with all its dazzling spray.
And hearing father\'s voice call out,
she hastened back for shore. But riptide
bound, she found herself pulled to the
coral edges, where sharks did
glide and taste their prey far from
her sun-drenched blanket. Then seabirds
dipping to the fray bore witness to
her summer\'s day.
