After Hurricane Sandy, the Jersey Shore began to rebuild. For many of us, it's a constant that draws us back again and again.

A Shore Thing ©2013-2019 Marian Mastrorilli
Spotted out along the sea
Signposts of recovery
Sea salt and sawdust scent the air
Ghosts of the past everywhere
Although the sea went off the charts
Like the one that broke your heart
We can’t resist, we go back for more
‘Cause everything’s fine down the shore
It looms large in my life
It’s part of my lore
Stays on my mind, lives in my pores
Sausage & peppers, custard at Kohr’s
The whale ride at Seaside
That’s my Jersey Shore
Forever it’s with me
The shore runs deep
Memories of my life are steeped
In sun-warmed waters blazing bright
The coolness of the sand at night
The ocean’s ever-changing show
The boardwalk’s flashy neon glow
It looms large in my life
It’s part of my lore
Stays on my mind, lives in my pores
Seaside and Ortley, Belmar for sure
Asbury, LBI, my Jersey Shore
When the aftermath of pain subsides
We can’t help but forgive the tides
The waters that tear down can restore
‘Cause everything’s fine down the shore
It looms large in my life
It’s part of my lore
Stays on my mind, lives in my pores
Casino Pier, Funtown, B&B Stores
Let me retreat to that sweet Jersey Shore
I’ll always return to my Jersey shore
