My Ocean, My Friend

Pushing and pulling
roaring and foaming
She calls to me up on the sand

So I run to the shoreline
and into her foam
Plunge under a wave
where she welcomes me home

There under the water
I feel the sea dance
rocking and lulling me
into her trance

She rolls me on forward
and tangles my hair
her great waves are tempting
but oh, do I dare!

To ride to the shoreline
is such a delight
but to take on the "big one"
can be a fierce fight

So I'll romp in these shallows
until the day's end
and soak up her beauty
my ocean, my friend
