Beach

I'm packing very little
there's not much that I need
hitting the open highway
for the beach, the sun, the sea

heading for the border
be there early today
I know once I get there
my troubles fade away

something about the ambiance
something about that air
something about the evenings
that makes me forget what's here

Mexico, just a dream away
closer than it appears
gonna mix with the locals
maybe, I'll just stay there

You know what? I always go the beach ( on summer ) with my family. My friends call my boy " son of a beach ". It's a place to forget your worries and pains ( temporarily ). I wish for your success in this endeavor. Love and prayers. Ernilando

THE BEACH IS A GOOD AND RELAXING GETAWAY
