Salt fills the air and clings to my skin

My feet seep into the warm sand, hugging me like a warm blanket

The waves whisper softly to me as they hit the shore

A steady voice comforting me like a lullaby, oh I want to hear more

Palm trees dance in the wind to a music only they can hear

A mango and peach ice cream swirl drifts like a summer cheer

Disappearing into the horizon like a sweet dream 

The ocean sparkles endlessly, like a blanket of diamonds with many special treasures hidden beneath the surface

Seagulls squawking overhead, their soulful cries echo through the endless sky

The cool water traps me in its gentle clutch, sending shivers of glee down my spine

Sand stuck to every crevice of my body

Piña colada in my hand, with my family waiting in the lobby 

The sun burns my skin to a warm glow that lingers all day

Time slows as if the island is asking me to stay

Sniffing the hibiscus flowers and looking at the beautiful morning glories

I see my mom snapping away, filling her photo album with glories

My summer dress catches the wind, like a sail in the sky

Carried on a breeze as the clouds float by 

As the days start to go by 

And the stars are left dancing in the sky

I remember that Hawaii is more than just an island 

It’s a very special place where time softly blends 

Each moment is filled with magic that never ends
