Chez Riz

The potholes on the dirt road are filled with muddy water after it rains The warm breeze blows against the wind chimes Vacation time at Chez Riz A familiar smell greets us when we walk through the door The washer rattles as it washes the sandy sheets We gather up the shovels and pails The beach awaits The salty air makes me feel calm and happy The sun feels warm on my face Sand sculptures get washed away as the tide comes in Seagulls glide overhead as they scout for food We bike nine in a row like ducks in a pond Ice cream and sunsets at the wharf to end our day Laughter fills the cottage while we play games We climb up the ladder eager to find out what tomorrow brings New memories are made everyday
