Stroll Along the Beach

1. Stroll along the beach 

and find enjoyment in the SAND

as it reflects gold sunbeams, 

and sifts softly through your hand.

The sand grains feel like velvet 

as they cushion every step.

You’ll enjoy the cool refreshing water 

as you let

the gentle tide flow to your feet 

with every step you take.

Notice the formations in the sand 

the tide will make.

2. Watch the SEAGULLS hover 

on the beach looking for food.

So happily they skip 

as you enjoy their cheerful mood.

Look at the horizon 
and imagine far beyond,

where other lands have precious treasures 

you can reflect on.

3. Feel the burning SUN 

upon your arms and on your face.

Sense a healing remedy 

within its warm embrace.

Notice tiny shells 

that once were vibrantly alive.

Marvel at the miracle 

of how all things survive.

4. Lie upon a blanket 

and inhale the warm fresh air.

Thank God for the gifts 

He’s given us in quiet prayer.

Smile and go on walking 

as you see the TIDE roll in

away from distant boats, 

and feel the breeze upon your skin.

5. When it’s finally time to go, 

remember every scene,

tuck this MEMORY away, 

for when you’ve time to dream.

If you choose to stroll along the beach 
some summer day, 

vow that you'll appreciate 

its wonderful display!
