Echoes of the silent shore

                ~~~~ 

We spent our days down by shore
Wading out in the placid seas
Or jumping waves that seemed to roar
Rolling in on a warm sweet breeze

The castles built when we were young
Bedecked with shells and seaweed strands
Small starfish from the waves were flung
We crowned our fort with starfish bands

The jelly tots and ice cream cones
Candy floss and sherbet lolly
Collecting pure white cuttle bones
Carrying home for pretty Polly 

I sit here on this silent shore
In bitter wind from out the west
I grieve my friend you are no more
But memories echo…
 you were the best
