Fisherman We Were

I can remember, Those warm sunny days, As we sat on the beach, Watching wave after wave. Seeing the sea grass wave, In the warm summer breeze, Droplets of water land on my face, As we sat on the beach watching the sea. We walked for miles collecting hundreds of shells, Carefully climbing the jetty, The clean sea air is all you can smell. We hoisted the sail on our small sailboat, With only one big gust of wind, We were no longer afloat. We woke at dawn, to spend our day on the bay, Fisherman we were, Even if only for one day. All those happy memories, Etched deep in my mind, Will remain forever, By the best dad of all time.
