Picnic Dreams

I want to picnic at the shore and put my feet in the sand
And watch the restless waves give themselves to the land...

I need to feed the gulls and smell the bite of the sea
Watch the path of passing ships and dream of you and me...

I shall walk by the surf and search for treasures rare
Smiling at the thought that Neptune threw them there....

I'll wrap myself in memories of my picnic by the sea
The day I spent dreaming dreams of you and me....



For the Picnic contest...

There is a comfort that comes with visits to the sea, dear LNC. I can just see King Neptune tossing the shells ashore as treasures for us to find. If I were there with you now, we could share this picnic together. Share our dreams as well. I hope one day you find the perfect picnic partner. Wishing you success in Carol's contest! Love, Carolyn
