Sea of Life
Two lovers sit upon the shore,
Of this vast sea of life.
As they sit hand in hand and look,
They contemplate their strife.
No matter if the times get hard,
Their love will see them through.
It bonds them close and warms their hearts,
And turns their gray skies blue.
The daily trials of this life,
Will try to tear their love.
But it is held firm and intact,
By faith in Him above.
A bond between two earthly souls,
No man may tear apart.
For each of them will hold a space,
Within the other's heart.
The men will come and try to take,
This woman from his grasp.
She's flattered but before she goes,
His firm hand she will clasp.
She'll feel his love all warm and soft,
She'll tell the stranger, no.
She'll wrap her love around her man,
She'll stay and not let go.
The same will happen to her mate,
When temptress comes his way.
He'll shut his eyes and see the face,
Of her who makes him stay.
Two lovers sit upon the shore,
Of this vast sea of life.
And marvel at the joy they feel,
Because they're man and wife.
Then each will say a little prayer,
To thank God for each other.
And ask for help from Him above,
For her to be a mother.
The pain and tears of giving birth,
Gives way to happy joy.
The child they have has lots of love,
No matter, girl or boy.
As to an adult, this child grows,
They'll teach it right from wrong.
And every time the child is good,
Their hearts will sing a song.
Until at last their child is grown,
And picks a lifelong mate.
And starts a family of their own,
It is predestined fate.
Two lovers sit upon the shore,
Two lovers, man and wife.
And marvel how they made it through,
This great vast sea of life.
