The eternal sun is shining brightly

Not a cloud to be seen in the sky

I am sat licking a cool ice cream

Remembering days long gone by

Children frolic on the shimmering shore

Sandcastles stand proud and tall

Deck chairs full of happy families galore

On a golden sandy beach one and all

It brings back distant forgotten memories 

And rekindles the boy deep inside me

The joy thrill and expectation of

A summer by the sea

 

The foam crested waves come crashing in

As my mind swims against the tidal surge

Time marches relentlessly on and on

While I hope for a miracle to emerge

Alas I was caught in a wonderful daydream

I am nothing but a mere mortal man

But I have lived and the light I have seen

Just one small part of the planets masterplan

As the sky blue heavens brighten my day

I will reminisce and smile at the boy in me

Surrounded by the sights and sounds of

A summer by the sea
