Place By the Sea
I once had a special place by the sea;
A quiet get away where I loved to be;
My favorite place for God and me.
A solemn place, most Devine
And serene, free of people for a season.
The only sounds I heard were occasional fog horns,
the roaring of the sea, and the still small voice of God.
It was delightful living 4 blocks from the sea.
Now I reside 2000 miles from that beloved sea.
At some point in their lives, like me, I wish
that everyone had a place by the sea; a place
where the sea gulls flock by the sea cliffs,
Where the bounties of nature come together.
Those big cargo ships from far eastern
Shores slowly flowing under the Golden
Gate Bridge was always a sight to see.
I sure do miss my special place by the sea.
