Poems
Ocean
The waves beat on the shore then fade away
Leaving only a salty spray
A memory of what once was
The waves cannot stay because
Like all things in life they will disappear
Leaving us with the fear
That it will never return
Leaving us only to yearn
Forever for their presence
When they return it brings us a pleasance.
But sometimes things like this don’t return
It’s then that welearn
That things don’t always go as planned
That you can’t control where a wave hits the sand
You can’t make the world stop
Or cause the sun to drop
beneath the horizon
Nor can you stop it from risin’
You don’t control these things
For not even kings
On Earth can do that
In God’s hands they are no bigger than a gnat
It is He who controls the Earth and the sun and the sea.
He controls everything even you andme
It is not we who have the power
For in his presence we all cower
It is Him who owns all
On His name we call
He owns the ocean
And is Lord over all
