Beach Day

Walking down the beach,

feeling the heat of the sand beneath my feet,

burning them as I walk,

getting closer to the water.

Stopping at the edge of the water,

looking out at the vastness of the ocean,

taking it all in, stepping forward,

feeling the coolness of the water

lapping at my feet.

Tilting my head towards the sun,

feeling the heat warm my skin,

allowing a smile to creep across my lips;

filling me with joy.

Sitting in the sand,

wondering if this is heaven,

finding comfort in that thought,

wanting this to last forever.

Knowing this is my last day,

wanting to find comfort in that,

enjoying all that the beach brings,

willing it to my memory.
