Strolling By The Sea.

Winter has its sparkle, but not for me today
my thoughts have turned to summer, not so far away.
With mild and lighter evenings and days so warm and long
I think of all the things I can do, when summer comes along.

But I’ll just want to be with you and feel you close to me
walking hand in hand with you, strolling by the sea.

So I will take some time away, to be alone with you
and we will find a rocky cove, where the sea is blue.
As we watch the children play, we’ll wonder at it all
then I’ll steal a kiss from you, as the waves caress the shore.

And I’ll just want to be with you and feel you close to me
walking hand in hand with you strolling by the sea.

We’ll take a walk across the cliffs, up where the seagulls fly
and watch the sea crash on the rocks, as the clouds drift by.
Then we’ll stroll down to the beach, to find a shell or two
and watch the surf ride on the tide, just glad it’s me and you.

The winter has us in its grip, now snow has fallen too
but my thoughts are of summer days, just being alone with you.

Thank you Shirley, You give me so much encouragement and I really appreciate it. A year ago I'd not had my poetry seen much at all outside my family, then I dared to do and started to submit poems on the internet. The response I have had has given me the confidence I didn't have and therefore given me the drive to keep on writing when I can. So thank you for your support.
kindest wishes,
Tim
