Barefoot On the Beach

The days of Summer are here On this beautiful earth sphere This season of shine The beach we do pine Our time to appear draws near The day we have awaited has arrived To the seaside we carefully drive The kids and their daddy Singing Showaddywaddy The excitement in us now thrives In adventure they play on the dunes Through the reeds the breeze plays a tune A symphony so grand As I'm barefoot on the sands On this glorious sunny afternoon For these days of Summer cheer us all As the sounds of happy kids en-thrall Our day is now ended As darkness has descended My kids and I had a ball

I can relate to that from time to time in the past. Don't get out on beach much any more, but I do have nice memories.

I could really picture you playing on the beach with your children, James. Like the musical sound of the wind blowing through the reeds. Great entry for Francine's fun contest. Winning wishes headed to the Highlander. Love, Carolyn
