Moving footsteps toward the sea
The waves calm the soul
Walking down the sandy shore
As you make a path in the sand
You close your eyes, as the wind hits your face
Holding all that is dear in your heart
Knowing they will never part
Moving footsteps toward the sea
Praying that you never have to leave
My reasons for writing this poem is because I have lived in Florida for the past eight years and just moved up to Ohio to live with my dad and step mom. The beach was one of the most important places i went to think or write or draw about things or life. Most of the important things while living in Florida happened at the beach probably because new things were always happening and new people were always around.The beach was always changing in little ways and it made it a special place. My poem also tells how even though I'm away from my mom and all my friends in Florida they are still in my heart wherever i go. My favorite line is probably "Moving footsteps toward the sea", because you are drawn to the beach, the fact that it is so huge and entirely to large to ever see all of it in ones lifetime is amazing. I believe the ocean is like going to a spa, it calms you, it's a joyful place. My poem shows how much the beach meant to me and how much I miss being so far away.

That's a great poem, Mary. It's really calming and I got the feeling I was at the beach for a second. You must miss Florida so much! (Don't worry, it's much nicer here when it warms up a bit.)
