Sea, She Loves Me
With forceful currents there, possessed
She pushed me fast to shore
As winds had stirred up, at my back
The sea provided cure
My voyage ended weeks ago
When the homeward ship went down
With prayer and hopes, a dingy afloat
She would not let me drown
Nor be shark bait, a worm on hook
The sea kept me alive
With nature’s course, on current float
I was not meant to die
She placed me on a sandy beach
Upon the break of day
The sea, she kept an eye on me
And taught me how to pray
