A Walk On the Beach

Strolling                                  morn,
           down                     early 
                 the              the   
                     beach   in 
I lift my face for a salt breeze kiss.
A seagull breaks the silence with its call, forlorn.
Strolling                              morn,
           down                  early
                 the           the
                     beach  in
God's creation awakens and is reborn,
and for now all my cares I can dismiss.
Strolling                              morn,
           down                  early
                 the           the 
                     beach  in
I lift my face for a salt breeze kiss.
