The Sea

Nature has gifted  humanity with so many wonders to see
One of them striking our attention  is the sea

Admire the turquoise waters created for mankind
For it has a soothing effect on the mind

Since ages the sea surrounds the land.
Flowing around the neck like a garland

The splashing of waves,low and high tides
And the production of foam all constitute a feast for the eyes

Lo! appreciate the sun kissing the horizon
It is setting for another mission

An important source of livelihood for fishermen
The sea feeds to a large extent the man

The extraction of corals, pearls and jewels
Allow the villagers to prosper and live well

An ancient and primitive means of transport
Boats, ferries, oil tankers,ships connect different ports

But through it sometimes God manifests His wrath
To remind those like Pharaoh who deviate from the right path

However, many have been engulfed in tsunamis
Which are beyond the control of our destiny.
