As We Walk Along The Seashore. Poem by David Boyce

As we walk along the seashore.

As we walk along the seashore,
Crushing the seashells into the sand,
We walking along so slowly,
Tightly holding one another's hands.

We talk about many subjects,
About the weather, work and daily life,
Walking so comfortably along,
As a husband and wife.

We speak about the holidays,
We enjoyed many years ago,
With loved ones who have since passed,
As the waves crash in along the shore.

The memories make us happy,
Both our faces full of smiles,
We continue slowly walking,
Along the seashore for many miles.

You must always talk about your loved ones,
To keep their memories going on,
For their soul is always with you,
Only their body has gone.
