Every day she’d come, with a book, in her hand
Set a blanket down, on the soft, and warm sand
Open to yesterday’s page, aloud, she would read
Seems this was the only thing, she’d ever need
Softly at first, against the crashing of the waves
Then a little bit louder, her voice, she’d engrave
Into the rush of surf, as it teased, near her feet
The sound of the water, her words, so sweet
And continue, she did, until light became dark
Then flag the page, with his faded bookmark
Promising to return to him, the very next day
Same place in the sand, for he liked it that way
