I Am From...

Salty air and sandy feet

Pockets filled with rocks and shells

Miles of unspoiled sandy beaches

Fish on was a phrase often forgotten

Time seemed non existant at Elbow Beach on Sundays

The countdown to Seafood Fest

The smell of fried food filled the air

Clamcakes, chowder, and Del's

Blue waves crash on shore as you look to open ocean

Only one ocean from our homeland

A place I never want to leave

I am from salty air and sandy feet...
