Take your time

Do you remember that tender time

when your little feet stumbled as you walked the sand,

   and you leaned against the sea breeze to stay upright

   as you imagined you would take the ocean in your stride?

Published February 2017 in my first collection, Writing Rainbows: Poems for Grown-Ups

I scribbled this poem at high tide on First Encounter Beach in Eastham, MA, on Cape Cod. The child was doing a test drive on little legs without Mom or Dad tagging along. The youngster looked curious, scanning the far horizon, taking a few more steps…the breeze was steady. I couldn’t remember when I took a ramble like that at the shore. I’m pretty sure I did it.
