Sand Promises

As I walk the beach, I ask what will you teach? The waves lick my feet, with a white foam so sweet. Sand promises to do and see, is this the magic key? I look back to see my footprints, cool and refreshing as a mouth full of mints. The sand of tan and water so blue, your promises were always new.
