My Friend the Ocean

A home to fish and whales
Your waves crashing and roaring
Filling the air with noise and cries
Your tide going in and out, in and out
You can be as peaceful as a sleeping cat
Or as ferocious as a screaming toddler
You’re filled with shells and rocks attached to rivers and streams
You can dunk and you can lift
Your tide pushing us out, pulling us in
You think how salty you are
Your turquoise currents
Your amazing life that lives within you
Rocking us to sleep
Goodnight
