My Dream Vacation
Sand sparkles like diamonds under my feet.
Sun smiles in blue sky. I watch seagulls fly
while sitting with ease at my beach retreat.
I don’t need palaces like at Versailles,
museums or other attractions to see.
I relish instead dusk’s peace in cerise.
My dream vacation includes family.
Food, laughter and good times seem never to cease.
The sun’s warming rays that darken our skin
as we jump the waves that roll toward the shore
bring special magic to light us within,
and life is a dream with joy at its core.
I feel again like I am eleven.
Maybe, just maybe, I am in heaven!
