The Beach



The sandy beach,
The salty air.
The whispering waves,
And messy hair.

The palm trees swaying,
In the gentle, warm breeze,
The beautiful colors,
 Of the deep blue sea.

Picking up seashells,
On the Ocean's shore.
Looking around,
And finding more!

There's so much beauty,
When you look at the beach.
It's an amazing place,
Just out of my reach!

But some day I will live there,
Just you wait and see!
Sitting under a palm tree,
That's where you'll find me!
