The beach is peaceful
And can be extremely dreamful
The beach is where I think
The beach is far too exciting to even blink
To me a beach is a magical land
And yet, it is still full of sand
Beaches are my favourite place in the whole world
Sometimes when I’m at the beach I drift out of the real world
I watch the waves as they wash by
As I look up into the sky the first thing I see is the animals fly
I love this feeling the feeling of peacefulness
And I look in the water and see kids sharing happiness
The water is a blue and sky’s on cloudless days
Sometimes at the beach there are many delays
I walk in the water the shells stab my feet
It starts to bleed but I clean it up neat
