Going, going, gone
Eyes wide open at dawn
Breakfast, lunch, snack
And then I need to pack

Wash, clean, fold
It’s all getting a bit old
Let’s find some sand
To run through my hand

Let’s be free and get away
Summer might last only a day

Going, going, gone
A lazy kind of yawn
The moment is now –
I’m remembering how

How sunny your day and mind and pictures are ! I love it. (And b.t.w, what glorious looking beach you got. (I presume you did’nt leave your country (?) ) I wish I was a dragonfly, and hover to the sand/hoping this day will never end/the moment is now, wise words those are/but lets pretend tomorrow is far. 🙂

Your lovely poem brought a big smile on my face, and it’s not the first time you’ve come up with a spontaneous poem in a comment! Thank you, Peter! And no, we didn’t leave our country, but traveled to a well-known beach we had never visited before. There are only a few beaches like this over here, long and with real sand. It was super shallow and so great for kids, too

Beautiful finish with the last couplet and the last photo. ❤ Looks like a giant toy! And I really love the first one too.
Something funny happened today. I had my password renewed and the woman needed to take my fingertips and she complimented me on my nicely visible fingertips. 😀 Clearly I'm not cleaning much, she said. And we laughed and we laughed.

You bring back memories of a busy life as a young Mum both wishing for a quieter time of life but not wanting the kids to grow up so fast or the days at the beach to end.

Yes, a contradiction – wishing for time to pass slowly and selectively

Selectively. Aptly described!

Thank you for taking us along in your sweet escapade…lovely photos! and my daughter would love to catch that Dragonfly…in German we called it “Libelle” .
i´ve seen only few, bur bees and butterflies are many.
May seemed like repetitive cycle but hey–going, going, and gone is not bad:-))) I was reading it out loud and kinda enjoyed it! could be a nice caption in your summer getaway photobook!
Enjoy the sun and lots of memories!
