Beach Retreat

Beach Retreat As life's burdens collapse on my shoulders And reality knocks me off my feet I realize that time has again arrived to escape to my beach retreat I feel the closest to my Lord possible as the golden sand envelops my toes Here I enjoy our sacred relationship as my spiritual faith in him grows Witnessing waves breaking into a clear blue sky, Tell me, who could ask for more ? What better place to relish God's work than sitting on the ocean's shore I have yet to outgrow my beach retreat in spite the years that I grow older I'll always associate the beach as a refuge... A place where I can encounter the vast meaning of life a place to lean on my Lord God's shoulders.
