I always thought it was written from the perspective of an elderly person in a convalescent home (the "home by the sea"), talking to someone who has come to visit them. They are asking the person visiting them to "let us relive their lives, in what we tell you". It's about the value of listening to elderly people and valuing them as people and valuing their experience.
