Silver Shells
by
Brian and Shirley Dean
Christmas makes you feel emotional.
It
may bring parties or thoughts devotional.
Whatever
happens, or what may be,
Here
is what Christmas time means to me.
City sidewalks and the boardwalks,
Dressed
in tropical gear.
In
the sea spray's a feeling of Christmas.
People
laughing, waves a-crashing,
Seagulls
flying quite near.
And
on every beach corner you see…
Silver shells, silver shells,
Its
Christmas time in the tropics.
See
them gleam, just like a dream,
Soon
it will be Christmas day.
Strings of seagulls, even beach balls,
Have
a bright sunny shine.
As
the people walk by at the beaches.
Hear
the sand crunch, see the kids bunch,
Taste
the salty sea brine.
And
around all this bustle you see…
Silver shells, silver shells,
Its
Christmas time in the tropics.
See
them gleam, just like a dream,
Soon
it will be Christmas day.
