When Boy meets Gull
Crystal clear blue sky and blazing yellow sun
My boys depart to the beach, for a day filled with fun
Poised motionless in the sand, like guards at their post
Seagulls prepare for the game they enjoy most
Boys at play, build castles on the beach
Seagulls taunt them to play, always just out of reach
My little men spring to their feet and chase them with glee
The gulls sprout wings and fly, then plunge into the sea
The children return to their castles in the sand
While the gulls soar over, looking for a spot to land
This scene plays over and over, all day long
My boys laugh joyfully, seagulls sing their sirens song
Endless energy, they summon without lull
A priceless portrait indeed, when boy meets gull
