The Last Vacation

The sun seemed to last forever As we walked hand in hand My dad and I together Our feet sinking in the sand His smile was so bright As he looked at me What a beautiful sight Of the ocean we could see The South Carolina sun rays Beat down on our tanned skin Like we would feel it always Like the happiness we felt within The waves crashed on the shore Grazing our bare feet Our footprints not seen anymore As the cool water washed away the heat We made it to the house we rented The beach was right behind The morning always ocean scented Sunset and sunrise will always stick in my mind The week was full of relaxation And sightseeing all around I’ll never forget that last vacation Your laughter was a constant sound I wish we would’ve traveled there At least one more time before it was too late For life has many tragedies so unfair And you can not dodge your fate I will always watch the videos you took Close my eyes as they fill with tears from the memories For you will never again be able to look Or feel that glorious ocean breeze
