jekyllbeach13 By Charles VanBuren

The sound of the rolling surf,
Is sweet music to my ear,
If it would not spoil the mood,
I would stand up and cheer,

The moonlight on the rolling sea,
To me is an awesome sight,
I feel as though I’ve gone to heaven,
When I walk the beach at night,

Sometimes when I watch the sea,
Light flashes as the waves part,
Greetings from a lonesome jellyfish,
Saying hello to my heart,

Walking along, I can look up,
And see the stars so bright,
They’re the beacon to light my way,
When I walk the beach at night,

As I stroll down by the shore,
I get the feel of contentment,
It seems to take away my cares,
And my feelings of resentment,

The breeze blowing across the sand,
Seems to make all things seem right,
I’m alone but I don’t care,
When I walk the beach at night.

Along the golden isles of Georgia where marsh and ocean meet,

Lies a jewel of an island, for those who come and greet.

Her beauty unsurpassed, with sheltering oaks and pines

Where Spanish moss is draped around branches shaped by time.

A canopy of trees surround, bringing life within its midst.

Providing natures wildlife with a haven to exist

Its golden sand and rising seas peacefully come and go,

And natural dunes and driftwood form along the beaches row.

Its from this unspoiled beauty many have graced her shores

The Timucuan Indians, Horton’s, DuBignon’s and much more

From Rockefeller, Morgan, Pulitzer, Gould and Macy

Whose cottages remain today to keep alive their legacy.

And the richness of her history still captures us today.

The aura of an era gone by; when the rich would come to play.

But from this golden age in time, we know and understand

That Jekyll is ‘a jewel of isles’ where all would wish to land.
