Today is gray and cloudy
The waves lumber in
Accepted by the shore
Which appears to be in slumber
It looks cool but is almost 80
No one is out walking
Too busy for this luxury
Thay are at home talking
About how they use to love
Being on the beach all alone
Except for a casual traveler
They talk about what they did
Why it was so exciting
But not they have had their fill
And almost go into hiding
If someone stops by to see them
They are very cordial
Offer drinks and treats with
Plenty of conversation
The guests finally leave and
The bottles thrown away
In the recycle bin
This is just their way
Then they decide to nap
Before you know it
The day goes by
Sunday is over, Monday is near
Another week gone by
Yesterday was World Humanitarian Day
They will make it up this week
Contribute in some sort of way
They like to do their part
Know that it is important
No matter what others do
Their path is for certain
They know the words of the master
And follow Him, they do
Know there is always need
For them and for you
So they live their life
Although sometimes frivolous
