Excellence Award in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition

The beach is such a peaceful place to be,
The blistering sand and dazzling blue water I love to see,
The gentle flow of the water coming ashore,
Just sounds like someone silently closing the door,

People splashing in the heart of the sea,
Don't stop smiling right at me.

Then there is the beach house,
Where I like to build my sand house,
But also where I love to play,
And even where I love to stay.

But don't forget sun baking,
What a relaxing time to be taking,

All along the edges of the sand
Where the fronds of the palm trees are scattered on the land

Nothing can beat the lively waves of foam
Swirling in all directions in the vast sea they roam
