Just To Ease My Mind

I'm going down to the ocean,

just to ease my mind.

It's a beautiful place,

a special friend I find.

When my heart needs easing,

it's the place I go.

I sit on the shore,

and search my soul.

Sometimes I wonder

of certain things I've said.

Were they right or wrong,

did I hurt my friend?

Did I hurt the one

that I love the most?

As I know I'm not perfect,

not even close.

I look up to the sky,

thanking God for this paradise.

I ask him too,

for his advice.

Sitting calmly in the warming sun,

in moments of wonderment.

I finally come to terms,

with my lament.

It is then I really know.

I need to go home and excuse myself,

and take my loved ones pain,

and place it on the shelf.

Then give them some hugs

and kisses too,

and tell them I'm sorry

for all I've put them through!
