The Sand

I softly place
My cheek against the warm sand.
Reminisce in happiness
And proudly smile
The sunset
The sand
Too much to take in.
The energy.
Beautiful hair
That of a mermaid.
The memories flood to me
Overwhelming me,
Tidal wave.
These are memories
I shared with you
The gulls
Singing our song
Whispering words I listen carefully
Grasping as much as I can
I pray
To my loving God
My blessings I am thankful for
My biggest blessing of all
Is you
And the sand
