Two boys at the beach
Took my boys to the beach today
For a nice little walk in the sand
Chasing gulls and chasing fish
Each boy thought it was grand
Danny came first
He laughed and he played
Grandpa came along
We walked a mile
But he walked three
Back and forth and around
He rolled in the surf
And dug in the sand
And gathered many shells
All the while he chattered away
Content and happy and free
TJ was next
Running full speed
Then suddenly slowing down
Sneaking up, stealthy and still
Trying to catch some gulls
Getting close before they can spook
And almost touching a few
Then turning around and
Racing the tide
Building tunnels in sand
Finishing up just in time
Before they wash away
The wave came up
Filled up his channel
And (much to his delight)
Turned his tunnels to mush
All in all a wonderful day
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than spending time with my awesome boys
On our vacation by the sea
