January 01, 2011 |
She took a bright blue bucket
Did Annabel this day
With brother Harry by her side
They went outside to play
They climbed that wooden boardwalk
And opened up the gate
Then stepped onto that sandy beach
Where seashells did await
It was the first day of the year
The tides were running high
The north winds whispered silently
Brown pelicans did fly
The breaking waves were crystal clear
That coursed across the sand
And everything was beautiful
Where Annabel did stand
Her water eyes would see each crest
Then loudly she would cry
“Watch out the oceans coming
You must be quick and spry”
Then brother Harry giggling
Would laugh and run around
Picking shells for Annabel
That by the sea he’d found
A treasurechest most colorful
Of every shape and size
Sweet Annabel was gathering
Beneath the winter’s skies
There were so many different ones
Collected on the beach
So Annabel selectively
Did for the best ones reach
Then back across that boardwalk path
To wash and dry each one
She’d take them home to Metairie
Before this day was done
“Pop Pop”
