Down By the Ocean
Down by the ocean, down by the sea;
is my haven of peace and my spirit soars free.
As the gentle waves upon the sand arrive;
it is here by the seaside that I feel most alive.
Down by the ocean, down by the sea;
is my haven of peace and my spirit soars free.
As the gentle waves upon the sand arrive;
it is here by the seaside that I feel most alive.
As the tide’s gentle breeze blows mist on my face;
this, my heart’s sanctuary, I fully embrace.
I delight in the sun’s hues as on the horizon she sets;
as I empty my soul of pain and regrets.
Like a new day dawning when the tide rolls in;
it is here, by the ocean that my journeys begin.
Joy, love and happiness are now my life’s quest;
until I have achieved these, my heart knows no rest.
My soul rides the waves of the ocean’s white peaks;
as these precious gifts of life my heart earnestly seeks.
A better being I’ve become as by the seaside I sit;
for it is here that life’s fire in my soul has been lit.
Down by the ocean, down by the sea;
is my haven of peace and my spirit soars free.

Loriann, Bob has been using "probiotics" for the past 2 years. He suffered terribly from allergies and had to take prescription medication every day. In the past 2 years, he has had to take 2 allegras, that's it. It's the good bacteria that lives in your intestines and I guess that is where the allergies come from. Hope all is well with you and give Stephen a hug for me. He probably doesn't remember me but I remember him, especially as I watched Harry Potter over and over this weekend - Susie
It is really a very beautiful and a heart rendering poem. Just goes to show the kind of person you are. I agree w/u that one should take the time to really appreciate this wonderful gift- called Life, we are blessed with.
Good Luck!!
