Walking on the hot sand

Tingling my feet

Trot towards the ocean

Waves waiting

I can’t wait to splash

Play in the water

While seashells massage my feet

I step in wet sand

Below the ocean waves

Soft, brown sand

Holding up the shells

Bend down

Pick one up

Splash, splash

Run back

Oh, how I love the beach!
