Toes In The Sand



While still a little dark
The sound of the surf filled the air
I whispered good morning Lord
What a beautiful place to share
I thanked Him for that moment
My eyes toward the rising sun
Overwhelming joy, knowing the Creator
As a new day has begun
Colors so amazing, it was certain
They were painted by God’s hand
I praised my God in a morning prayer
My toes buried in the sand.
