 ~ The Beach Is Ours Today ~

Come, take my hand, let's go
Explore beyond the way
Let's skip among the sandhills
For the beach is ours today

Come, walk the path of sunshine
'Neath skies of deepest blue
We'll twirl and laugh and play all day
And enjoy the pretty view

Let's go, to race the breeze
And dance within the waves
Throw bubbles in the air
Praise God for all He made

We'll walk and walk, 'til we are tired
And talk of all we know
But leave a trail of footprints
To find our way back home


Soft whispers from

 Sunbeams are angel kisses.
Sunshine melts your heart.

Sunshine is God smiling.
Love is the universal sun.

~ Beach Time Now~

It's beach time now, the days are long
As seagulls chirp, where we belong
Here walking on this breezy shore
To warble soft our happy song

It's beach time now, let's laze about
And gaze on water's cool
The waves awash with mirror hues
Of rippling crystal jewels

It's beach time now, umbrella shade
Bear towels as dripping things
Of shelter, in the burning heat
Sand blasting in the wind


It's beach time now, come rest with me
Within this shady nook
We'll sip and sigh o'er icy tea
All thoughtful as we look

It's beach time now, as dearest friends
The days are always warm
Walking here, on sunny shores
In joy of heaven's dawn

Poetry from the Heart
Picture
To spend a day on the beach with a friend,
must be one of God's finest gifts. 
 To run within the spray, 

and wiggle toes in the sand,
to lie on the dampness under

the bright blue sky, listening to wavelets,
watching clouds fly across the sky,
has to be a little bit of heaven...
~ blossoms~

Picture
 "Come walk with God in morning light
In skies aglow with golden night
Come walk with Him in heaven's dawn
and listen long....for love is born."
~Blossoms~


Don't grow up too quickly, lest you forget how much you love the beach.

A real friend is someone who takes a winter vacation on a sun-drenched beach
and does not send a card.
Farmer’s Almanac


Picture
"maggie and millie and molly and may"
maggie and millie and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles, and
millie befriended a stranded star
who's rays five languid fingers were;
and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles: and
may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea.

~ Beach Afternoon ~

In the good old time for beach
Roll out those sunny days,
It's time to leave the house
bring on the lemonade-

Call all your nicest friends
Bring oranges and peach,
Hamburger rolls and salad
And gather at the beach.

Find delightful praise-
Where everything is cool,
Chat on holidays

Forget about the school.

Ask the Father how to plan-
For all His way be done.
It's the time to celebrate
The heat is turning on.

Picture
The Creator whisked away the frost-
And bid it all be gone.
Now watch the clouds go scudding by
In the sky where warmth belongs.
What better way to thrill
In His gift to me and you-
Than to thank Him for the joy
Of a beach fun afternoon.

Earth's crammed with heaven, and every
common bush afire with God; but only
he who sees, takes off his shoes; The
rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
~ Pretty Beach Days ~

There's something very pretty
About the warmth of beach time play
Just walking in the sunshine
Soaking up the rays

Meandering on the beach
Watching frothy wavelets play
Balmy breezes whispering
Secrets on their way

Choosing shells to decorate
Of pearly rainbow hue
 Listening to seagulls
Calling from the blue

Making footprints in the sand
Watching fish swim by
Sitting on a towel to dream
While gazing at the sky
Picture
Climbing on the rugged rocks
The reef of little pools
Finding crabs, a minnow
Smiling gratitude
Each wavelet there unfurling
Bringing wonder true,
Unfolding special treasures
And memories anew.

All labours draw home at even,
And can to others say,
"Thanks to the gracious God of heaven,
Who sent this lovely day."

♪ Ocean wavelets relaxing music-utube♪
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Art of God is in every wave.
Beach ~ is a million memories
Wavelets are the ocean giggling.

The world is sun-luscious and puddle-wonderful.
Heaven's a little bit closer in a spot by the Sea.

~ I think I Miss You ~

I miss you, I don't know why, something's missing deep inside
Your heart so near, yet far away,
So when I build a sandcastle in the air, I create thinking - this is what you'd like,
And in the gentle waves, lapping back and forth, I see your smile
Back and forth, in and out, close and warm.
Leaving trails on my heart, my fingers sink into the sand,
I feel each grain, the coolness, yet as if not feeling, for my mind is not here, but there
For I like the way we care, 

I can hear you stepping in the sand behind
I don't need to turn, your heart's already mine.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.

Helen Keller

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. 
One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach -- waiting for a gift from the sea.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh


One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach; one can collect only a few, 
and they are more beautiful if they are few.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

~ Trip The Light Fantastic ~

Day is dying in the west, the time has come to take your rest.
Kick up your heels for one last fling
Glad for the joy of every thing
You've been so kind to me today, in all the lovely things you say
I'm so glad you're always there, and I'm glad you're in God's care
So after your last evening twirl, have a fantastic dreamy night
Enjoy the sunset beach with me
And I'll see you in the morning light.
Sleep sweet my friend..Goodnight

“It’s hard for me to put into words why I like the beach so much. 
Everything about it is renewing for me, almost like therapy...Beach Therapy”
--Amy Dykens

Picture

“Among the many thousands of things that I have never been able to understand, 
one in particular stands out. - That is the question of who was the first person
who stood by a pile of sand and said, "You know, I bet if we took some of this
and mixed it with a little potash and heated it,
we could make a material that would be solid and yet transparent.
We could call it glass." Call me obtuse, but you could stand me on a beach
till the end of time and never would it occur to me to try to make it into windows.” Bill Bryson

Picture

“Sponges grow in the ocean. That just 'gets' me.
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn't happen.”
--Stephen Wright

Picture

“I dropped a tear in the ocean, and whenever they find it,
I'll stop loving you, only then.”
--Anonymous
