This is how life is meant to be
Sun on my face and my toes in the sea.
The children playing with bucket and spade,
Shouting "Mummy, look at this castle I´ve made!"
Their cute little faces bronzed from the sun
Beaming with pride at what they have done.
Then with bucket in one hand and spade in the other
They set off to the shoreline for things to discover.
They bury each other in very deep holes,
Eat icecream, play frisbee and a quick game of boules.
Now is the hard bit: "Kids, it´s time to go home."
Now the grumbles and tamtrums, whimpers and moans.
Soon it´s bathtime then story, cuddles and sleep.
These memories are treasures I always will keep.
