.
as kids we run and splash around
jump threw the waves
and play with the sand on the ground
teens start a fire
gather along friends
and the flames they admire
lovers go for romance
hold hand to hand
and grow their love for a chance
olders move slow
for a breathe of fresh air
and the future they don’t know
some come for peace
to get away
and stress to release
but every time we go
we enjoy every moment
as we all show
and every time we leave
we go on with our life
with a little less negativity we relieve

- Comment from author about the poem: everyone has their personal thoughts or reasons of why they visit the beach and how they grew up around one. i didn’t want to offend anyone with this poem. for whatever reason you go to the beach, maybe there’s no reason that you do. i’m all for it.

I think you've covered a lot of ground in a succinct and positive way in your piece today. Always an uplifting visit where the ocean shows us natural forces and gives us such pleasure.
I love the way you weave lots of reasons for visiting beaches into this interesting read. Your final stanza sums up the whys in an encouraging way - for "every time we leave we go on with our life with a little less negativity " how postive and how true. Thank you for sharing this with us .
D, great poem. Being married into a Chinese family I have to say you forgot the 'most important' reason to go to the beach: FOOD. There is nothing better than the whole family doing a beach bbq pot luck!! Ah, and the boogie boarding, don't forget that. Loved your poem.
