Where the Sea Grass Grows I am lonely for the ocean And the sea gull's strident cry. For the foggy morns and evenings That inflame the western sky. For the salty winds and breakers And the ocean's constant roar As it rushes in and crashes On the cliffs along the shore. I am longing for the beaches, We can walk along and see All the strange and briny treasures That are left for you and me. I can see us there together, As we were so long ago And the waves, our names are calling, Where the long, sea grasses grow!

This is beautiful. I have never spent much of my time around the ocean, even though I am not too far from it now. Joyce |

Joyce: Thanks. I have always loved the ocean, especially the Oregon coast and try to go for a visit every year. don't always make it, but it's even better the next time I make it there. Betty Lou Hebert |

Wow! This is brilliant! Yeah, I love the ocean too. It's nicer on a not-so-windy day though, otherwise my hair blows in my face, hehe.. I really really like this Trillium It's going in my library -Lynne It's nice to share - kiss someone when you have a cold. |

Lynne: Thanks so much and I'm flattered you are keeping it. We usually go to the Oregon Coast and it's always windy there! I'm sure your beaches are much warmer! Betty Lou Hebert |
