The Cornish shore … Where golden sand lies next To dappled grey granite rock, Where the sea breeze sweeps And the mussels flock, Where the rock pools gather And the small crabs patrol, Where the white foam curls And the breakers roll, Where the sea birds call And the salt spray stings, Where the seaweed sunbathes And the limpet clings, Where a stream’s course meanders, And reflects the azure sky, Where a starfish gazes skywards And white clouds go scudding by. By all means take treasured memories, But please take nothing more, And leave nothing but your footprints On this sacred Cornish shore …

I was really drawn in to your beautiful imagery of the Cornish Shore. Sacred indeed, I promise to leave a very soft footprint :-) Molly Moore
