She plays beside the restless sea, Her world within her hands... To such a child, Reality, is sun and sky and land... She'll dream her dreams and live her days, While many years rush by... Yet, deep inside, in hidden place, This child will never die... Through all the storms of life and love, She's kept her spirit free... Her hopes and dreams are unrestrained... Just like the ancient sea... And now she sits beside the sea, Her world within her hands... The tides of time can never steal Her castles in the sand... Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Hi Sunny, "And now she sits beside the sea, Her world within her hands... The tides of time can never steal Her castles in the sand.." You have just won the "Michael Auguste Sea Award"  for one of the most beautiful stanzas written. It's not a real award, but I what I have to say is real. I truly love those lines, my friend. Well done. Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

Sunny, this is quite beautiful, and I agree with you. We can never give up the dreams of happiness that were given to us as children. And I am also a lover of the ocean. I even listen to a little machine that plays ocean waves every night. Take care catalinamoon |
