On September 17, 1993
I was introduced into this world
as a reward given to my mother at twenty three
and my father at twenty eight
by our Heavenly Father
dwelling in the sky
I was born with a heart filled with ocean tides
and a body wrapped in seaweed
with seashells in my hair

But then I grew up
and became a very spontaneous beach bum
who cares about nothing else in life
but Jesus Christ
beaches, oceans,
palm trees, dolphins,
pina coladas and time travel
