OCEAN TIDES Blue-green water, crystal clear And sand as white as snow Children playing in the surf The pace, easy and slow. Fish swimming around your feet As if they're teasing you Soft white clouds float overhead In a sky, clear and blue. A place you can get away Leave your troubles behind The salt air and the soft breeze Can clear you cluttered mind. Look at the far horizon And dream of far-off lands The same waters wash their beach -- They just have different sands. The people on their beaches With dreams like you and I Looking at the same horizon Beneath the same blue sky. Their skin, a different color Their speech, a foreign word All drawn to the ocean's edge By the same call we heard. Its strange and awesome forces Reach each and every one And will for eternity Just as it's always done. A common bond to us all A camaraderie It's too bad that we don't hear -- So sad that we don't see. The things we could accomplish If we'd be like the tide -- Dependable and constant And pulling, side by side. The world could live together With peace and happiness And with Mother Nature's lead We'd straighten out the mess. But people are too stubborn We just don't want to hear Most of us possessed by greed Some of us torn by fear. But the oceans will remain When life on earth is done And with their perseverance New life will be begun. Del "Abe" Jones |

But the oceans will remain When life on earth is done And with their perseverance New life will be begun. Abe, such truthful and important thoughts, written with the beautiful surroundings of the ocean. I love this and am keeping it too.  Hugs  Ethel |
