Long Ago

Looking back at the times
i spent at the beach
i think back to all
the good times i had
playing in the sand
my cousins and i
digging for shells
and other treasures
walking along the sandy beach
sitting on the side of the cottage
listing to the people at the park
screaming on the coster
wating in lines for
the thrills yet to come
it’s all gone now the park and the beach
the screams and the laughter
the tresures in the sand
new beaches come and go
but never the same as
that beach long ago
