Washed ashore, fond memories of old; ours, as I stand, looking out to sea. Recollections worth their weight in gold. Abound, images my mind's eye can see. Entranced; playfully carefree were we! Footprints we used to stamp in the sand as we walked by the shoreline, hand in hand. What fun we had splashing in the shallows! Thanks for memories so wondrous and grand. They sing in my heart like summer swallows! Date written: 05/09/2020

Heart warming memories continue to sing for you, Edward. Your words bring back memories of the many times I have done this with a loved one. Well done, my friend. Congrats and kudos. BTW - was this poem set at the shore?

Thank you so much, Sam:-) Yes, it is set at the shore. This is a fictional poem, by the way.
