A Soft Ocean Breeze

The waves roll in with a gentle roar, 
as the gulls glide by in search of a morning meal. 
I sit feeling the ocean breezes that I so adore, 
and as I sit here such a sweet peace I feel. 
Walking along, picking up pretty shells, 
I can faintly hear the seagulls cry. 
I can hear the rising and falling of the swells, 
and together they sound like a soothing lullaby. 
I can smell just a hint of coffee in the morning air, 
from the little shop just up the beach. 
I feel a joy that in life is so rare. 
If we only listen there is so much God can teach. 
I've found contentment in these simple pleasures, 
while looking out at a beautiful blue sea. 
I've found some of life's greatest treasures, 
but the greatest of these is to be free. 
I behold the grandeur of the morning sun, 
and I watch the clouds floating along with ease. 
When the stars appear and this day is done, 
In sweet slumber I'll dream of this soft ocean Breeze.
