The Water's Edge

Standing at the water's edge, his feet in the sand
He was content, holding my hand.

Teasing and coaxing the waves to the shore
Smiling and laughing, begging for more.

Playing with the ocean like a special friend,
hoping the day would never end.

Walking along the water's edge, leaving footprints in the sand.
Reaching for seashells with his tiny hand.

Scooping sea treasures to share with me.
The amazement and wonder of the sea.

Watching the swells of the ocean.
Nature in it purest form

The memory of this moment
will keep his heart forevermore.
