Today is a Beautiful Day

MARY Swillum

Today is a Beautiful Day

 

I lay here on the beach

The beautiful white sand

covering at my feet

The seagulls swooping down

grabbing a snack to eat

The sound of the ocean waves

splashing upon the beach

Today is a beautiful day.

 

I hear the sound of 

unknown voices

The sound of laughter

Kids are playing everywhere

A child says "Daddy will you 

Help me build a sand castle?"

The dad takes the child's hand

And walks down to the 

Moist sand

Today is a beautiful day.

 

The sound of boats speeding by

While sailboats are

Sailing the waves

The pelicans perched on their post

Taking in the ocean breeze

The sound of Jimmy Buffet

playing Margaritaville

A voice yelling "heads up"

As the saucer like thing

Is flying through the air

 Yep, today a beautiful day day.

        on a beach just at dusk laying beside each other,a glass of wine,listening to the waves come in,taking it back to the house getting in the hot tub,lights low music soft wine chilled candles burning
