To think I used to be a empty beach where people would visit me for a cool breeze or sunrise 

To think i used to have trash wash up on my shore 

To think I was once considered worthless now I’m a diamond in the rough 

To think I wasn’t a main attraction, but now I’m a main event 

To think i was once a beach with the lonesome smell of loneliness 

 

To think I was once a nameless beach to Tel Aviv

To think people now stop at my shore to walk my hard coarse sand 

To think I was industrialized with roads and buildings 

To think I was once a darkless beach like a candle with no flame 

To think I once watched the sunrise and now I have building blocking my view 


To think people eat my food, live in my buildings, and  watch my sunset

To think I used to believe I would still be inhabited

To think I became top tier and made new friends

To think my sand used to be bottled in a jar so people could say they visited somewhere foreign

To think my fellow brothers and sisters didn’t want to acknowledge me

To think  I still have brothers and sisters out there I don’t know about

To think my name means hill of spring in Hebrew.

To think I was discovered April 11, 1909

To think it was 111 years ago from this day

To think, To think, To think,.

The teacher asked us to write about what we saw and I choose to write about the beach pov
