Together We Laugh

Together We Laugh Walking slowly we see the little creatures in the ocean and the sand. Fish dart from spot to spot as the sea gulls glide above. Crabs rush along the shore looking to hide. Arms waving up at us we laugh and watch as they find their spot. Together we play and have such fun. Laughter flows like music on the waves. Life here and now is like magic with treasures to offer and things to explore. We savor each moment and somehow know there will be more. The sun is warm and the breeze is refreshing. We swim and play in the waves jumping each one and laughing. Waves splashing and the sun shining soon we notice some dolphins playing close by. What a sight to behold another moment to treasure as they too frolic and play! As the sky fills with color we walk along the shore. Then suddenly I have found a treasure! A beautiful smooth green piece of glass washed ashore. We laugh and joke about the treasure I said I would find. The real treasure was how it made us laugh. The laughter still echoes in my mind. The moon feels alive as it lights the night showing us little fish swimming in the waves. The waves themselves seem to be aglow. We listen as they roar and somewhere a seagull calls out in the distance. Along the beach we see the star fish and tiny crabs scurry about in the night. We laugh at how funny they seem to be. I savor the beauty of those times we shared for such moments have brought such joy and laughter. The moments we spent with nature in childlike awe remain nearest and dearest. Today I still hear the laughter. Debbie Knapp
