From the moment I first laid eyes on you, you took my breath away.

I was just a child but I was in awe.

Even at a young age I recognized how miraculous you were.

Your water is never ending, just like my love for you.

You separate earth from earth, making people feel worlds apart.

Yet when I am next to you I have never felt so close to myself.

You are the only thing that always brings me peace.

Us mankind, we may not treat you as we should.

Lord knows we don’t respect you.

Yet you are always there, waves crashing, again and again, bringing breaths of fresh air.

I sit on your beach and admire you as you take every worry away.

Your water cleanses my soul.

No matter how I feel you always seem to understand.

My toes step in the water and your waves wrap around my body.

If I were to lay still you would pull me closer into you and farther from the world that worries me so.

I love you forever, beautiful ocean.
