Galveston At Dawn

As I walk along the beach over head the grey gulls screech Lapping waves upon the shore, who could ever ask for more. Ocean breeze upon my face; palm trees flutter on the lawn. Galveston’s a lovely place, walking on the shore at dawn.

I spent a lot of time in Houston have I was at A&M but I don't think I've ever been through Needville. I live in the Dallas area.

Thank you, Eve, I appreciate it. I didn't realize you were a Texas girl, for some reason I thought you lived in the northeast. Where do you live? John

I can feel the breeze. A lovely piece. During WW2, my parents were there and in Brownwood. My father's training camp.
