Why, Oh, Why?
The sand sitting grittily,
 in between my toes,
 The lobster red backs,
 for millions to see
 Green and blue,
 the ocean bears the truth,
 
 This is my home
 
 Why did I ever leave this place,
 so beautiful and calm
 the song of the Siren is screeched in my ear,
 by a nearby seagull.
 Golden shells crunch under
 the feet of those who have put their towels down
 Tiny flags mark 
 the territory of the 
 little kids
 who have made
 their castles
 
 This is my home.
 
 The sun raised high,
 the sun down low,
 this is the place I need
 to go.
 
 Why oh why 
 did I ever leave this
 magical,
 beautiful,
 relaxed,
 emotional
 place
 
 Of which I call
 my home
