Take It In

Cool water washing over my feet
ocean glistening where sky does meet
soft sand sifting through my toes
fresh sea breeze scents up my nose
tiny little treasures hidden in the sand
warmth of the sun giving life to the land
swallows dancing with joy in the sky
enjoying the sun as they flitter and fly
butterflies emerging in the warmth of the day
new life begins as they fly on their way.

Hello Paula, Mother nature is wonderful. A squirrel took over a birdhouse and made a nest. I was very surprised to see this happen. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene\
