The Beach has Soul
Went to the beach today only a week into spring
Sunshine a cool breeze and no phone to ring
Drove three hours for a day of fun
I asked myself why we go through all this
But for her it‘s worth it a moment of bliss
Sand dunes with beach chairs lugged across
Better than summer I love this time of year
The waves are gentle the sky is clear
Low temps warm sun less people to deal with
Families know it’s all about kids
Shovels sandcastles and coolers with lids
Running and squealing with each cold wave
It is now seven-thirty see the sun’s orange hue
Can’t believe those kids are not turning blue
Three little ones still playing in the icy cold waves
The ocean’s beauty draws all to its shores
The beach has soul we keep coming back for more
Sunburns and jellyfish riptides and grit
Memories of fun we will never forget
