A Day At the Beach

A day at the beach As the dawn breaks over the open ocean the waves emulate one another as they reach the shore. I see the colorful sun rising on the horizon while the dolphins play after their morning feast. Passing ships dot the scene desperate to reach their destination crossing paths as they push forward. A couple of people are starting to set up on the beach women are laying towels out while the men drag big coolers. I see kids running behind carrying buckets and shovels they have white suntan lotion on their faces that looks like war paint. As the sun gets higher as I sit on my balcony observing the day watching the magic of happy families bonding. I think of my own family and wish they could be there growing with love and emotion.
