Ode To the Sea

Are there words to tell,
The beauty that you hold within?
The mystery upon every swell,.
Where God had life begin.

Feeding  multitudes with your bounty;
Man existence depends on you.
So giving  of your endless plenty;
Beneath your waves of blue.

The mysteries you  hold 
Are to man a constantly calling.
Will your story ever be told;
Or are our methods too appalling? 

You deserve our endless gratitude,
For all you have provided.
You play a beautiful etude,
Of which God’s elegant hand has guided.
