Little Hands and Feet

Buckets in little hands
There they go scampering by
Little feet Across the sand
Hair flying in the breeze

Crabs scatter quickly away
As little feet splash in
Shells and seaweed
Beckon little hands to see

Sand castles built
To smash
With little hands and feet
Have so much fun

Dig a pool to fill
With buckets and buckets
Splashed out
Little feet kicks of glee

It’s time to go
Buckets packed up 
Little hands 
full of seashell memories
Tired little feet dangle
From mama’s hips

You have brought my favorite things about the beach into this one. The children make it such a memory!
