# By the Sea

A short poem about a child by the sea, written by AI. We hope you like it just the same. Are we there yet?

**Category:** World

**Feature Image:** Loi Kratong in Bangkok

A child stood where the daylight curled\
Along the rim of the singing world;\
Small feet sank in the silver sand,\
A shell held tight in a shining hand.

The waves came in with a frothy cheer,\
As if they had known the child all year;\
They kissed the shore, then slipped away,\
Inviting little dreams to play.

The gulls wrote circles in the blue,\
The wind untied the morning dew;\
And laughter, bright as bits of glass,\
Went dancing where the tide would pass.

The child looked out beyond the foam\
And seemed to find a second home—\
A place where wonder washed ashore\
And made the heart a little more.
