The Beach

The beach! The beach! Oh, the beach!

Sand castles standing high

I like the waves to hit my feet on a hot July

The beach! The beach! Oh, the beach!

Crabs walk on the sand

I gently poke them with a stick, but never with my hand

The beach! The beach! Oh, the beach!

Starfish on the shore

Seeing common sea stars as Dad and I explore

The beach! The beach! Oh, the beach!

Salt scents the air

I put on lots of sunblock because my skin is fair

The beach! The beach! Oh, the beach!

Pink at the end of the day

The sky holds many colors while we run and play
