Our Beach Retreat

The evening slides away from me
And disappears beyond the sea,
Leaving me to contemplate
Returning home, before too late
To see the path, so shadowed now,
That I begin to wonder how
I let myself become entranced
With setting sun, I never glanced
Behind, to see how little light
Remained before approaching night!

The white sand crunches under shoe.
I hurry onward;as I do,
I peer into the dark to see
If someone's come to look for me.
Then up ahead, there is a spark.
A flashlight cutting through the dark
And very soon, I meet and greet
The one who shares my beach retreat
And he who also shares my life,
Tells me he's glad I am his wife!

Dear Betty Lou

A beautiful poem.  It is very assuring that there is someone waiting for you at the end of the day.  It makes your life that much more meaningful and special.

Love Isobel ox

Dear Joyce:  This is based on an old memory from 1954.  Our one son was a baby and we spent the summer on the Oregon Coast.  Since one of us stayed with him, the other would go to the beach for awhile.  I tended to get carried away sometimes by all that wild beauty and didn't watch the time.
Thanks for reading.

Love
Betty Lou
