Nothing could be more relaxing than a late afternoon walk on the beach.
I was walking along the beach
Savoring the powdery softness
Of the pure white sand
As it clung to my bare feet
I was so enthralled
By the gently lapping waves
As they quickly washed away
Each footprint I made
I sat and covered my feet
With the milky white sandy paste
Delighting in its cold freshness
And loving the feel
Of the late afternoon breeze
I stood up and walked again
Watching every footstep
Being hungrily licked up
By the slowly rolling waves
And I pondered in awe
At the wonder of it all.
How I wished I could find a way
For my footprints to be
Forever engraved on this beach
As a lasting remembrance
Of my presence here
And an enduring legacy
Of my birthright
As a child of a native
Of this God-given paradise
I felt a surge of pride
And a flood of joy
By simply being here
Making insignificant footprints
Along the sandy white beach.
