The sun shines throughout the glowing day,
The children are on the beach and play;
From morning to the afternoon,
Families arrive & stay long beyond noon.
As lunch has arrived,
Everyone one is thirsty & no one is deprived;
Flasks of tea; and flasks of coffee,
Salmon s'annes and sweety toffee.
A child squeals to high heaven,
Just wonderin' what she's been given;
Her mother tends to the lassie's distress,
And tries to reassure her it's only a mess.
Their boy builds a big sandcastle,
And his father joins in with little hassle;
Their mother seeks those few minutes of peace,
Then realises it's now time to cease.
And as they depart, and it's time to go,
Their day is set with a sunset glow;
And as it departs and goes out of reach,
It was a day to remember on the beach.
