I Am the Ocean

I am the ocean, also known as the sea.
I am unpredictable, my nature wild and free.
My color varies, shades of blue and green.
Shadows and light decorate the scene.
Scheduling and planning the course of my tides.
Lies in the hands of the moons lunar guides.
Seafarers know that they must plan,
their ocean journey, but at my command.
With waves and currents I am never still.
Force and strength, my own free will.
I am vast, my depth, a challenge to measure.
Upon my ocean floor, lies ships lost treasure.
There is life teeming below my surface,
An underwater world, mine to service.
I can be gentle, and and create delight.
But I can destroy with  power and might.
My waves dance, ever lively, to and fro
With changing tides, ebb and flow.
If you listen closely, you will hear my song.
Whether the beach, or out at sea, it comes along
I have lived forever, with the moon in the sky.
If you have the time, I will tell you why.
From the beginning, I've been part of God's plan,
His vision of wonders to bestow upon man.
Spend some time, there is much to learn.
Nature's true gifts are yours to earn.
Believe this with  pure heart and soul.
All heaven and below, his to control.
