Dreams of Yesteryear

A day at the seaside,
A bucket and spade,
What a treat a donkey ride,

Playing with shells,
Sand between my toes,
A pool where a little crab dwells
Gulls fly high in the air,
As i skip along the beach,
A child without a care,
  

Packing up it's time to go,
Shadows dance across the sand,
The bus is swaying to and fro,
I feel the shell within my hand,

My eyes closed....

The dreams of yesterday,
are here to stay.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
