Life Is a Great Big Ocean

Life lessons are all important,

even the ones that cause pain,

To bathe in summer sun

You got to expect a little rain



Many have walked a path

left words and quotes behind

In times in need of light

they're left for us to find



Be strong, be brave

Embrace every emotion

It's just a mighty wave

But life is a great big ocean

That second verse is so right. I;ve never heard it expressed that way before. This is a really good piece of work here, Rachel.
