On the Beach

So many memories were made on the Florida sands, and so many promises were made with more than a shake of hands.

So many secrets were shared, and so many thoughts were declared.

So many sunrises and sunsets were adored, and so many seashells were explored.

So many top forties songs were listened to, and so many seagulls overhead flew.

So many new friends were made, and so many miles of ocean we would wade.

So many sunburns we endured, and so many boardwalk shops were toured.

So many lazy hours as we tanned, and so many precious footprints we left in the sand.
