“Beach Time”

Ashley
Sunrise Elementary School
Jefferson County, Missouri

I sit on the beach
    sunrise to sunset

No need for a watch

Waves crashing into me
   again and again

Sand moving
   back and forth

With all the waves
   I feel like floating

Floating Away

Day by day
   I get away
      get away from sorrow

In the waves
   day by day
     I slowly get away

One day
to my happy place
