Of all the sweetest memories
that drift on through my mind,
the pleasures of the ocean,
are my most special ones to find.
I still imagine her waves,
just rolling in and out.
Her charm and peaceful moments,
is what she is all about.
Her mystery of eras come and gone,
Sea Captains from every time.
Guarding their ships safe journey,
his dedication, only the deepest kind.
From her storms of raging violence,
pounding on the shore.
To couples walking on the beach,
in a love that they explore.
Whales and dolphins,
and fish of every kind.
Coral, and seaweed,
and sandcastles lost to tides.
Her sand dunes, her fog horns,
ships passing in the night.
Wreckage has delivered treasures,
that lay upon her  floor.
From screaching gulls up over head,
to shells that wash upon the shore.
The pleasures of the ocean,
is what my heart deeply wishes for!
