~In Loving Memory~

The Sea, My Love
When the sun beams down on the water
When the moon gleams upon the sea
When the waves crash onto the beach
Look across the water and think of me
When the tide comes in and seagulls fly
When the tide goes out and fish flee
When you walk along the shore to find seashells
Look across the ocean and think of me
Each morning comes to bring a new day
And when the evening comes take time to see
When the nighttime comes and shines it's stars
Look up to the heavens and think of me
My gift from God was happiness
My smile, my laughter, my joy
My family & friends were my reasons for life
...and the sea, my love, since a boy

Look across the ocean and think of me
Each morning comes to bring a new day
And when the evening comes take time to see
When the nighttime comes and shines it's stars
Look up to the heavens and think of me
