On Golden Sands

My husband I and went for a walk on a sandy shore My one wish was to see a seal then more and more and more Miles and miles of golden sand as far as the eye can see Then I espy a bobbing head of a black seal swimming in the sea Another head appears and more and more, oh I can hardly wait I stand and count them one by one - gosh I can see eight Walking hand in hand we share a tender kiss Golden memories to cherish, an opportunity not to miss Precious time together with the one you love Enjoy every moment it’s sent from heaven above None of us knows what is in store for us and life is all too short Enjoy the simple things in life while you can is my parting thought Jan Allison 13th June 2014

Such a clumsy beast on land, in a way they waddle on blubber, yet in the Sea, they are incredibly graceful. People in a way are similar, as is life, James ....... hugs xx
