Little One

Sea and salt wrapped in the air
You jumped across the washed up weeds
Safe haven on the pearly beach
The water rolls, unleashed.
Her hand in your as she ran down
Along the edge of salty deep
Sand sifting between your toes
And sun kiss on your cheeks.
Curls of hair whip wild behind
While you both feel the water’s grace
Baring skin and every tooth
With light upon your face.
The summer ends so soon with all
The fall of leaves and set of sun
Hang on to every inch you have
Before her hand is gone.
