Afternoon on a Nova Scotia Spring Beach

The multi colored beach stones, the surf and the sand

Frame the vibrant blues of an Atlantic skyline

When the sun kisses us with warmth

No need here to question in life why oh why

Hand and hand and bare feet strolling

Waves will wash all your cares away

Hear the pounding surf play its harmony

While seabirds sing their ocean song all day

Horses and riders gallop chasing white foam

Children throwing sticks for dogs to fetch

Smiling seniors on park bench talking memories

Teens toss a football in a passive game of catch

One of Canada’s Atlantic playground scenes

A small benefit of living in Nova Scotia style

Where nature paints the background canvas

And best of all populate it with a heartfelt smile.
