By the Seaside

~~~~~~*~~

By Colleen WaltersPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Summer holiday

chasing crabs,

collecting shells

like happy memories

washed and cleaned

put out

where their

sight evokes

salty smiles

Sunny days

warm breeze blowing

across my mind

somewhere a seagull

calls.
