Seaside Memories

Remembering holidays by the seaside
Those endless wonderful days.
The seagulls in the distance
Hovering above the waves.

Looking towards the horizon
As the sun begins to rise.
Glimmering on the water
Its beauty fills my eyes.

A walk along the shore
Gives me peace of mind
Away from the hustle of city life
The sound of the sea helps me unwind.

Ice cream cones and candy floss
A walk along the pier
Sticks of rock,saucy postcards
Innuendos fill the air.

Punch and Judy,donkey rides
Building castles in the sand. 
Old and young together as one
Fun and laughter with Mum and Nan.

I love the sounds of the sea
As it caresses the golden sands.
I have so many happy memories
In vision and in sound.
