Jadazzle United Poet Acrostic

On the Beach

Only place in summer that I want to be
Now I have time to relax and be with the family
 
Taking time out to sunbathe in the golden sun
Happy times paddling in the sea is such fabulous fun
Even getting sand in our sandwiches doesn’t spoil the day
 
Bathing in the rising tide of an inviting sea
Enjoying watching the children play so joyously
Ambling over to the hotdog stall for a cup of tea
Circling seagulls overhead cry endlessly
Hoping this will always be a trip we make annually.

Love the golden time, you'll have with the family... Linda Jadazzle United June 25, 2014 at 4:00 AM My part of the poem is based on memories from the past Linda my son is grown up now and flown the nest but we used to have lots of fun on the local beach. I now find it a place of solace and go and listen to the waves and I am at peace I often write there now in fact I'm heading there later today for some 'me' time. Hugs Jan xxx
