Sand In Your Hair
Sand in Your Hair
There was sand in your hair the other day
As we walked the beach through surf and play
Holding hands as foam darts between our toes
Talking of lives, loves, friends, and foes
Gentle wind pushes the tide forward and back
Like a clock keeping time, keeping track
We strolled with nothing planned
No watch to wind, feet in the sand
The hours passed, the light grew dim
Others around were spread quite thin
At this time, I looked in your face
It’s there I saw beauty and grace
Humbled to be here, happy it’s you
Feelings of joy, feeling renewed
The chill returns, the sea swallows the sun
Time and space embrace as one
We began to walk back, retracing our stride
But our footprints were gone, lost in the tide
I thought, this is life: this simple little fact
You can only go forward, you can never go back
On the beach we walked, arm in arm
Hearts in our hands, feeling your charm
A simple day for me and you
Not looking beyond what we saw or knew
At that moment, with no special want or care
I noticed that you still had sand in your hair
