Storms of Life

The stormy seas of life Wages battle against the turmoil and strife In a whirl or in an ebb A rip tide seems to be in my head Rough waters against the jagged edge Hoping there are calmer seas ahead A turbulent wave or two Rocks the boat gently to and fro The waves beat against the shore Waters be at peace we want no more Be calm be gentle in my mind Leave the rough waters behind Lap gently upon the sand Feel the smooth touch upon thy hand Sands of time run all day From here to eternity they say

Yes, those sands of time, how they do run on and on with no end. I will be reading all your old poems to comment to you! You sound much like I was when I was pregnant, how I loved good food then! Luv, Andrea
