It was a cool October evening at sunsetwhen my daughter, Audra, and I waded into the Pacific
to, as Audra put it - "Dance on the waves"
Some while later, with Audra drenched and shivering
from taking "one more wave" on the chin,
I suggested that we might
return to the hotel to get warmed up -
"No daddy, not yet!
I want to stay one more minute,
no, five more minutes,
no, a week,
no, I want to stay one whole year!"
