I walk to the water's edge each morning,
To watch the fishing fleet as it returns.
Gulls follow the boats as they round the bend,
I hear their cries above the lapping waves,
While beneath my feet, the sand is still cold.
It will be warm by the time I turn back
Away from the sand, away from the sea,
But I shall be here again tomorrow,
To wait for the boat which will bring you home.

Thanks for this wonderful piece.
