Children of the Sun
A clear blue morning gives way to the brilliant afternoon sun
The parched sand baked by the sun stings their young feet
Anxiously they stand along the sandy shore
trying so hard to be patient
Their eyes fixed on the clear blue water
With eyes of fire they glance towards their father
waiting for the sign
With a flash of a smile and a nod of his head
They squeal with excitement and rush towards the water
With the lust for life that only youth brings
they yearn for knowledge and seek the simple pleasures the ocean
provides
Chasing the waves, they scoot back and forth
Laughter fills his ears and warms his heart
Plunging into the clear cool water, they disappear below the surface
only to burst back up a moment later
grinning from ear to ear
laughing and chatting all the while
These children of the sun, so natural in their surroundings
watch his eyes for approval
With another smile. Their little faces light up with joy
showing just how much all of this means to them.
He suddenly realizes its not the ocean they desire so
but the love of their father
sharing this moment in the sun with them
for now and forever.
