Star of the Sea
Upon the battered shore of life
As waves crest and descend
Remains a life yet hopeful
To one day try to mend
A sea star like no other
With one leg lost to sea
Gave up? Oh no not ever
For it knew that it will be
With hopes forever staying
For a wave to come and take
The sea star kept on praying
To find its way into the wake
As the sun got to its hottest
Where hopes were dying fast
A wave had come upon him
To take him back at last
Then there within the depths
With his friends under the sea
The sea star gave its thanks
For that wave that came to be
