ocean days

here’s to the ocean days 

here’s to the sea 

to the sound of the surf in the twilight 

to the gray as it lightens 

to the fog as it lifts 

here’s to the sunshine 

to the sandcastles 

to the waves 

to the freedom to run and cartwheel and squeal 

here’s to the togetherness 

to the laughter 

to the moments 

to the memories
