Sandy Beach

When on vacation with my children and parents,
We had a beautiful timeshare where we lived.

There was a beautiful sandy beach in front of the condominium,
You could walk for miles and collect beautiful shells.

We could walk over to our parents' timeshare,
Visit with my sister and parents,

Our mother would cook a delicious lunch,
We would all come over to dine or we would go to a beautiful restaurant.

The roar of the ocean could be heard as you walk along the beach,
I liked collecting shells, packed them in a cookie tin.
 
Brought them back to Canada, sand filled shells,
Memories of the exquisite days visiting Sarasota.

We would visit St. Armands, a lovely place to buy T-shirts and fashions,
I bought a beautiful abalony necklace and they gave me a complimentary shell.

Those were the beautiful days to remember with our relatives,
God blesses us this and many ways.
