My Beach Vacation

by

Ocean waves are my favorite,
The sandy beach, not a far reach.
The sun on the horizon, shiny and bright,
Oh! A perfect beach day. What a delight!
~~~~
The place we’ll stay, not far away,
With beautiful palms, that swing and sway,
To the ocean breeze, what a nice feel!
And the colorful birds give such an appeal.
~~~~
Perfect hotels with colorful beds,
And many couches with small pouches.
The kitchen smells so very well.
“Welcome everyone!” greeted the Maitre d’hotel.
~~~~
I’ve sunscreen, towels, and toys, oh what a joy!
And my swimming suit packed in a little loop.
The tropical ocean breeze calling out, “Come join us please!”
It’s time to hit the beach, come on, and say cheese!
~~~~
Warm beach sand and crisp sun rays
Reflecting and dancing to the blue ocean waves.
Kids run, kites fly, guitars play,
Oh how I wish I was here every day.

While dad is taking a warm dip,
Mom is relaxing with her favorite tea to sip.
Dad sees some bright fish along the shore
As mom picks some seashells that she adores.
~~~~
I build my sand castle, tall and firm,
And make designs that twist and turn.
“Look what I made!” I exclaimed.
“A masterpiece indeed”, said Ma and Pa pleased.
~~~~
I’m now hungry for lunch.
I can’t wait for grilled cheese and pineapple punch.
“Care for some watermelon or ice-cream?” mom said.
But I wish I could have both instead.
~~~~
I want to go for a swim before the day gets dim.
With my snorkel gear and paddle feet.
Here I come for a visual treat.
~~~~
So many colorful fish,
Swimming together in a swish.
Rainbow fish, clown fish, and manta ray,
All moving in an array.
~~~~
It’s time to head back,
Toys, towels, and gears in a sack.
What a fun day we had!
I wish we could do this all over again, mom and dad.
