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. 06-24-14 Written for Summer Acrostic Contest sponsored by Francine Roberts

I like the acrostic feature, adds to the charm of the piece.

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

The more the merrier Tim you are welcome to join us any time my friend:-) As long as the weather is good I'm heading to the beach tomorrow I find it so tranquil just listening to the waves and there I can be truly at peace with my thoughts. Hugs Jan xxxx
