Ocean

"A blue carpet as far as we can see. My child I call it an Ocean." By Poet When I was little my dad took me to the big blue ocean, he would cover me with creamy suntan location. The waves were filled with lots of motion, it made my tiny heart fill up with emotion. The water was cool and fun, the big waves seemed to be on the run. By ten o'clock my dad wanted to get out of the sun, but I was never done. It seemed the ocean and I had just begun, guess that is said by everyone.

If we are by the side of an ocean, we will not be inclined to return home. Children will never be tired of playing in the sand and getting themselves wet.They always hate to get back home from the beach. Great childhood memories, dear Paula.

Nice memories, and loved the last couple of lines. It's hard to remember how children can spend unlimited time in the ocean; would that be like having a delicious milkshake that never ends as an adult?
