Oh What A Moment

Nothing like seeing the world through a child's eyes!

You drink in the sun
in small lingering sips
munch on dreams
translucent as the lazuline sea
clouds drift to distant realms
you tell me stories
intricate details
born in the sand castle
of your imagination
right now I believe
you might know more
about the world
than I do
or ever will
you slow your pace to mine
we walk
oh what a moment

I kiss your rosy cheek

you taste of summer

Artwork and poetry is amazing. I like the description in the poem. I take my Grand boys to the beach as often as possible. Good for kids to know freedom and happiness of a open beach and a Summer day. A perfect ending to the excellent poetry.

The beach is a magical place for children and seeing it through their eyes is a gift. Thank you for reading and commenting. Lydi**

We missed this Summer at the Beach... so
your poem brings memories of sun-kissed
Cheeks when we were free to frolic and splash to our heart’s content. A keeper for those days when words linger through the Winter. gently, Pat

Nothing like the gift of enabling others to see or recall the world through the eyes of a child. That is your gift to us all here Lydi** and here we have another generous offering.........Neville

This is a beautiful tribute to your granddaughter, Lydi. I imagine the young girl in the image looks alot like her. It also reminds me of my daughter when she was little and we spent time at the beach. Simply wonderful.
