Troubled Times

Troubled Times In troubled times, I have the sea It's soothing sounds bring peace to me. An ocean breeze,salty climes I have the sea in troubled times. Gulls swoop and dive, we wouldn't dare unless a safety net was there. We fish safely, to stay alive. We wouldn't dare, gulls swoop and dive. I've seen sunfish, seals and whales. Smoked some kahawai, told some tales. But this is true, it's not rubbish, seals and whales, I've seen sunfish. A quad bike ride, along the beach, search for treasures lying in reach. Changing contour, shifting tide, along the beach, a quad bike ride. When times are bad, the ocean calls, kids go swimming, kick beach balls. So many happy times I've had, the ocean calls when times are bad.

It is a fine tribute to the ocean, your go-to place.
