The beach is where I feel most at home.

A place where I feel most at home, is the beach.
The beach is where you'll find me, if I ever go missing.
The beach is where I feel most at home. I never feel alone.
Cause it's the only place iv been able to go, when I was lost,
It's where id be found. It's where my life would fade away,
As time seemed to freeze as the hours slipped away.
I would stay for as long as I could, I'd walk the sandy shores-
Barefoot, letting the sand sting me slightly, as I continue-
Down the beach, hoping nobody would find me.

I'd pass little children making sandcastles with smiles-
On their faces, as the sun rays beat down.
I'd smile and wave and continue on my way.
I'd pick up a pail and pick up the seashells that caught my eye.
Beautifull little things hand crafted by the sea.
No one alike, each different by a slight degree.
I'd fill it to the top, and I'd find a secluded spot, to sit down and be alone.
I'd sit on the wet shore where the tide would splash my feet, the warm water surrounding me.
I'd take each shell out, and trace my fingers over each smooth and rough edge, each curve, each dip,
And I'd feel with my hands, and see threw my eyes, the beauty of each shell, as I'd through it back into the ocean.

Sand castles, sea shells, waves of dark blue, with foam of bubbles that turn white,
When the waves crash towards you. Is the ocean as it meets the sandy shore, and it combines
And makes the beach, a place where I never want to leave.

Cause the place where I feel most at home, is the beach.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The beach in Florida is where I used to go, all most every weekend . Even as I was learning to walk, I stumbled and fell and crawled aloud it. I grew up there. It was where my heart felt at peace, and where I was ment to be. It was home to me. When I had no other place, where I felt like I was safe, or happy, or wanted. The beach comforted me. A found childhood memory.

I loved it!

And, I love the beaches too! The first real beach that I've ever gone to was a beach in Flordia, believe it or not. It was in destin Flordia, and I loved it! I just went this summer! It was beautiful, and I didn't want to leave, but my sister got a alge caught between her skin and swim suit, and the intertube that we were floating on, to make sure that we wouldn't get too tired. The alge broke, and when alge breaks, it lets off some toxin. And this toxin got spread on my sister's stomach, and it started to hurt her, and she got out of the water, and when she checked her stomach, she freaked out. She thought it was a jelly fish sting, or something.

Well I love the ocean. So

Well I love the ocean. So vast and beautiful. I just can loose my self in it, but in a boat rather than on land, to be part of it. I just don't understand ur love for it, I don't need to tho. Its a safe place for u so it'd take me awhile to understand.
