It wa so bright and sunny yesterday that we decided to take a walk to the beach. It looked as if everyone had had the same idea.

It was a beautiful October Morning.
Up above a brilliant blue sky.
There was no way anyone could refrain
From walking to the beach close by.
*
From a bench leading down to the sea
There was the most amazing view.
Of people taking part on this lovely day
In every activity they could possibly pursue.

Out on the cold choppy water
Numerous sailboats raced their last race.
A kite surfer almost collided with one
As he skimmed o’er the surface at pace.

Over the lifeboat a helicopter hovered
And a casualty was hoisted aboard.
It was a practice air and sea rescue
Which many a camera had to record.
*
As giant waves crashed onto the shore
Children scurried away from the foam,
Laughing and screaming in utter delight
As their parents dragged them off home.
*
From nearby apartments on their balconies
Families relaxed with a coffee in hand,
Soaking up the sun and observing
What was taking place below on the sand.
*
As I sat there at peace with my surroundings
And walkers, joggers and skaters sped past
I thought about how lucky I always feel
To live by this ocean so vast.
