On the Ocean Waves Contest

Late one night while sailing on the ocean waves You invited me to come out of my boat telling me you were the only one who saves, With cat like eyes, that mesmerized, what was I to do I gently got into the water and started walking humbly to you, But suddenly I looked away and panic struck my heart, For me a mere man, who could not understand, quickly fell apart I screamed your name in utter shame To come and salvage me, The water raged above my head I no longer could see thee But then I felt your sold hand reach for me from under And heard a roar that sounded like an endless crash of thunder Silence filled the ocean floor Something I’d never seen before The stillness of the sea that night Changed my darkness into light Now when waves try to crash on me I remember the name that set me free I’ll never fear the storms of this life again Since now I know I have a dear sweet friend That hears me before I even call And has the power to rescue me anytime I fall I’ll keep sailing on the ocean waves For that was the night I met the one saves.
