she’s a pretty girl, isn’t she
just like her dad too
they walk along the beach
just the two of them
it’s warm and mellow
only a little breeze
which wafts merrily over the sea
just waves and waves
rolling back and forward
ceaselessly

By the way, Faith, I had written back to you about your recent post, and I said: Just beautiful (because it was). However, it seems it has dropped in spam. Very cross!
