I love the seaside Mommy,
where the water chases my feet
I run out, it runs in
grabs my toes, again and again
I love the sky, it is so blue
the sea is different but blue too
and boats big and small all float by
some with sails so high Mommy - they touch the sky
I love the sand at the waters edge
wet and warmed by the noon day sun
it feels so good in my hands
Oh! the seaside Mommy it is a wonderland
Oh, Mommy let us go walk by the sea
and talk about all the things
we see, shells and boats, gulls and sand
I promise to stay close Mommy and hold your hand

This is so lovely!! I love your elegance and charm and adore how this verse is directed towards her Mommy. I could just hear her excited voice as I read it. And Jessie Wilcox Smith is one of my favorites, the example you choose is just beautiful. Thank you once again, Kristin xo
