FOOTPRINTS in the SAND

 

                                                  FOOTPRINTS in the SAND

 

Cosy cove, sunshine, surf pounds golden sand,

picturesque vista, nature's creation laps our land,

enticing surfers, many on boards, some motorised,

lifesavers on duty, alert, publicly idolized.

 

Sages, families with babies, oh so brave,

plunge into white frothy ripples, breaking wave,

swimmers endeavour to surf toward shore,

observers admire their sport, fun galore.

 

Walkers absorb fresh salt air each stride,

10,000 steps barefoot per day, with pride,

strengthens latitudinal, longitudinal, metatarsals

positive, healthy challenge for individuals.

 

Saltwater caresses toes, personal aura,

amazing view from water’s edge, sand to flora,

mirror reflection, shiny, sparkling, ripple free,

footprints a memory, washed away, by surging sea.
