Ebb and Flow

As I walk along the sandy shore And watch the waves go to and fro To then return and go no more Yet come again and ebb and flow The timeless rhythm of the sea Always will amaze me That rivers always finds their way to sea with no maps to guide them as they go Yet end in the ocean as they flow Never fails to amaze me That a monarch butterfly migrates thousands of miles over land and sea through windy skies it flutters by A natural mystery That always will amaze me Joseph May 2 - 16- 13

It is amazing, all these precious things that we take for granted, Joseph. Funny how I wrote a children's book about the Monarch Butterfly and it's mystery of survival against all odds! Amazing! Always, Annalise

this is a very good entry to the contest, Joseph!!! I think you chose some great topics: the sea, river and butterfly and all the lines so nicely rhymed.
