Sandy Toes

She danced on the beach
Amongst the seashells
And crashing waves

Sand got between her toes
And she wiggled them
As she twirled around 

She had a small audience 
Of onlookers
Admiring her beauty and rhythm 

She danced for hours 
Then twilight came
And the breeze carried her hair

But as she danced
All she could think about 
Was the sand in her toes 

So carefree and delightful 
She would need to rinse her feet
After her dance

Sand was a spoiler. Too bad. I liked the image of the girl on a beach. She seems so free. This was a good story of youth.
