To Live By the Sea

If I were rich and my time was my own I would live by the sea in a cozy home Nothing fancy, that's not my style Just a few of my things that bring a smile Enjoying the mist as I walked the shore Searching for shells, watching gulls soar The sound of the surf bringing me peace Letting all of my pain and worry release But always…. Keeping my loved one close by my side For indeed, that is where my riches abide Barbara Gorelick 11/12/15 Trashed #4 / Broken Wings

Wow! This is superb and a very beautiful verse my dear friend, Barbara. It's indeed nice and to live by the sea. I like this so much especially your last two lines. Can I keep this to my fave? Thank you so much and best wishes always! Thank you so much as well for stopping by on my poem.

I concur on both counts, Barbara. I love the sea (probably because where I live is the furthest from any coastline in Britain), and my good lady loves it so much, she thinks she was once a fish (personally I'd go with 'crab'). And what would anything be without a love to share it? Nice write. Viv x
