Life’s a Beach

I dream of summertime when I can bask

In the bright sun with sunscreen like a mask,

With soothing ocean, feeling fine and free

And build a castle, on a bended knee.

I think of days gone in this life of mine,

Adventure, victories, some not so fine.

I’ve wandered in this world confused and lost

And strove for sparkling dreams at a great cost.

It hasn’t been so bad here on the whole.

I’ve never grown accustomed to my role.

My life enriched by people that I meet,

Through problems, won’t succumb to dark defeat.

Those times I spend alone on sunny shore

Will strengthen me to live this life some more.
