A small red pail at his feet And a blue spade in his hand His feet are below the water Half submerged in the sand Surrounded by cool clear water This day has been so much fun Lost in his own little world Beneath the warm Summer sun He's been busy collecting seashells And making castles in the sand The warm wind brushing his skin As it sweeps across the land His shadow now growing longer As he rinses out his pail He watches a flock of seagulls On such gracious wings they sail His mother calls his name As the sun starts sinking fast How he wishes time stood still So this moment could always last He'll return again tomorrow With his spade and pail in hand He'll find peace and tranquility On the warm golden sand Suetang |

Karilea & Paul Thank you so much for your comments and I'm so glad you liked the picture I painted. I actually wrote this after first seeing a picture of a blond headed boy at the beach but I didn't know how to put the picture on so you just have to rely on my words to try and paint the scene instead. Take care....Sue Suetang |

I've seen that picture Sue and this reminds me of the wonderful peacefulness it portrays! Lovely write my dear poet friend. Come from a land down under! |

Sue: This painted a familiar scene. We always spent as much time on the Oregon Coast with our kids, as we could. Not quite the same type of ocean, but the rest of it is the same! Betty Lou Hebert |
