Paradise

Besides the sand beneath my toes
Endless fun,no frets or woes.
Age is nothing but a number
Catch the ray, lay and slumber.
Holding time to delay tomorrow.

Building castles large and small
Laughing, swimming, running , crawl.
Allowing memories to set in
Noticing the dolphin's fins
Kindness dominates the day
Etching sunsets on the bay
Telling stories with no sorrow. 

Bringing love to the sea
Imagining tranquility
Nervousness drifts away
Goodness takes it place
Overwhelming calm.
