The Beautiful Sunset

Walking on the beach, I Eagerly anticipate the sunset, Like I've done so many times before. I stand and watch the beautiful colors, That paint across the sky. I look to my love the blue of the ocean, As I stand on the beach when my toes sink, Into the white sands, feeling warmth and love. I hear you behind hugging me as, You ask, "Isn't it beautiful?" I turn around, holding you in my arms, As I feel the sweetest kiss. We look to the ocean as we see, The dolphins jump with joy. Savoring this moment, I open my eyes as I see the walls, In front, realizing all I see, Are the flat plains of Oklahoma. I tell myself maybe One day, I will see the ocean, As my tears fall.

Hello, my friend. Actually, it's my love of the ocean. Yes, sinking my toes into the sand makes it so incredible. Having someone beside you completes the experience. It was a happy experience with someone I always have good thoughts and memories about. Hugs are coming your way, also. Shirley
