Colleen Goes To the Sea

Her vacation day 
It is here at last
Colleens bags are packed
I hope she has a blast

Off to the coast
For some ocean air
Sparkling waters
Wind blowing her hair

Walk along the beach
Searching for some shells
Sand between her toes
Feeling like Tinkerbell

All of her troubles
Washed out to Sea
Like a Sea Gull
She feels really free

With the sound of waves
Crashing on the shore
Life is much better
Than ever before

The sun on her face
The warm ocean breeze
A moment so perfect
She feels so at ease 

She wraps this picture
To hold in her mind
For easy access
When life isn't kind

She'll later unpack
To relive again
Her piece of heaven
To erase life's pain

Dedicated to Colleen

I hope you find a Unicorn to ride or a horse that is realated to one.

Forget the horse. It is 50 dollars an hour and you have to go in groups. I have the worst head and chest cold. Love Colleen

Thank you so much. I am going to take a notebook to the beach and sea what happens. My sister is a bartender so I am pretty happy by evening. Last night little to much. Today, I dont think I need to. Last 2 nights were interesting. They wont let me go for a swim. But I am faster then they are.LOL Love Colleen
