A Day At the Beach
(My husband & I shared a day with our 4 children,
ages 16, 14, 13 and 10)
Delightful dolphins dabbling
In seashells and sand,
On crested waves and crashing currents;
Building sand castles, dreams
And make believe schemes.
But most of all,
Building bridges that cover
Childish jealousies.
Delightful dolphins-
Intertwined, independent,
Siblings and friends.
One for all and all for one
On this day of adventure;
Glimpses of Glory
Playing with the Wind,
Believing they’re free.
Memories photographed in my mind.
I collect them all;
like seashells I carry
Them back
Cushioning them in my love.
They are my treasures to cherish
In the winter months to come.
Yes, I will remember
The dance of the dolphins
And their gift of joy.
(Dedicated to June who delights with me)
