Gentle or rough, music you hear
Waves lift-filter, life's water clear
Sparkle in sunlight, accept rain
Man tries to control, never tame

Shoreline rugged, peaceful sand
A tidal ocean, reaches the land
Form many pictures, through time
Mirrored sea to sky, division by line

Tide as nature, never can tether
Four seasons, change of weather
Remind us, life at times a struggle
Human experience, learn to juggle

Keep true focus, what lies ahead
Positive outlook, not one to dread
As ever morning, starts a new day
Maybe encounter, as hope finds a way...
