The Ocean

Gentle waves lkapping against the sandy shore,
And you in my arms, fast asleep.
I look down and see your smiling face;
I never thought I'd feel a love so deep.

Wading into the warm, salty water;
Holding you up in my strong arms as I watch you.
I feel your heartbeat as it connects with mine.
So strong, so pure; an awesome trust I never knew.

Because of you, I never feel a single regret.
I stare straight ahead, keeping eyes on you alone.
You changed my life, you make me whole.
You were the one to warm my heart of stone.

So, darling, never leave me.
Always stay here by my side.
I will love you, dear, forever,
And we'll stay down by the tide.
