How I yearn for the salty air,
And the warm sun beating down on my head.
The memories give me a sense of happiness,
But they leave lingering sadness behind them.

The rocky shores were my home,
You made it my home.
Your laughter allowed me to stay youthful,
And I will be forever grateful.

I will never forget the sandy rain boots,
And the breeze blowing through our hair.
I will remember your glowing face,
And your calming eyes.

When I am older,
And have children of my own,
I will tell them of the adventures we had
And pray they will remember in years to come.

Our family grew up under your care.
Your beautiful personality will fly with the birds,
And swim deep down in the Atlantic.
I wish the world will give you all the best.
