Sun and sand and sea and shore,
Grandkids at the beach once more,
Parents hold the toddlers brave,
Laughing; kicking ocean wave,
Red sun hat and sunscreen too,
Playing under sky so blue,
Fists are full of soft wet sands,
Watch it drip through open hands,
Mom and Dad just watch them smile,
Slapping water all the while,
Watch them close as gleefully,
Turn and crawl right out to sea.
Grab him quick and hold him tight,
Small legs kick with pure delight,
Legs and arms say, “I want more”,
Oozing joy from every pore.
Tired eyes begin to show,
Parents see and quickly know,
Time to gather up and pack,
Soon we will be coming back.
