On the Beach

    
     Footprints sink into the hard wet sands
     As you walk too close to the spray
     Of tempting small waves
     On the edge of the shore
     Saying today is never the day
     To carve your name on a monument
     Of granite or marble or malachite
     Or your mark on a theatre's walk-way.

     Today is a time to bask in the sun
     To forget ambitious lure 
     To laugh and love life --
     And removed from all strife -- 
     Relax and be merry.


     Note: I think this should be finished: 
           ... 
           Relax and be merry 
           Toujours.
