An aroma so sweet
The fragrance of the salty beach
A childhood refueled by a blissful memory
Of that sun hotly glistening 
Brightly off the waves beckoning 
Then magically crashing into foam
Chasing hermit crabs from their home
Turning sand into castle shaped  domes 
Of course they never lasted long
Once the tide had took up its toll
Sticky hands and sandy feet 
Covered in melted ice cream
Water pulls me out deep 
For a swim just out of reach 
 Unaware of the dangers which lurked 
Going further out
Fearless and carefree
Among the hungry sharks hiding in the murk
undertoes and the ripping currents Not once a listening 
until I felt that awful burn
of a jellyfish' harsh sting
So quickly I turned my
Swimming back towards the bank 
With a new lesson now learned
About the blistering pain
And the stripes I had earned
And never swimming in beach waters again
