she was a simple child

She was a simple child
Loved her seat by the sea
Where she waited for the fisherman
Who waved and said
What a simple child

She was happy with whatever life brought
Smiling during the sunny times
Holding hands and soothing feelings
when others felt sad
She was a simple teenager

The boys who grew up with her fell in love
With her simple ways, and her utter sweetness
She was a flower they all wanted to take home
She was loved by them, and loved by the sea

They married others and watched her from their ships
She waved and threw flowers out to them
The flowers lasted on the sea for a long time
For even the sea loved her simple ways
