The Shore

In the sunshine
with you by the sea
where I long
to always be

Fondest memories
of late afternoons
we lay resting
just beyond the dunes

I still hear
the tide coming in
waves crashing
comfort within

Din of children’s laughter
seagulls in flight
sun setting
dimming earth’s light

The shore was our place
always content
grateful for you
and the times we spent

Forever my safe place
I hold it in my heart
an accommodation
where you cannot depart
