Soon will return
This one last thing
To do, we yearn

When you go back
From where you came
My love for you
Will never change

The Ocean calls
It screams, it cries
And I know
The time is nigh

You will drift
And very soon
The sea will come
And swallow you

The bell will toll
Singing high
That your watch
Has passed us by

The time is nigh

You will drift
And very soon
The sea will come
And swallow you

The bell will toll
Singing high
That your watch
Has passed us by

This is simple and so sweet... really touching.
I am sorry for your loss.. I am particularly touched by this as it reminds me of my nephew's ashes being tossed at sea...and it's the way, I want to be...one with the ocean..
Hugs
Jenni

I have read a couple of your wonderful
poems, but I just can't seem to find
the right words to right back to you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I have cried
and cried for I have felt your pain through
your words my friend.
Beautiful angel Calypso~
She's always watching over you from heaven~
*hugs you tight*
My thoughts are with you.
hugs & prayers,
sue m
