The Waves of Life

The life that we live is much like the ocean,
Where the pain that we endure, is symbolic of the waves.


Sometimes the sound of the crashing waves are ignored,
And it is not until they are gone, do we appreciate the ocean's beauty.


When the waves are coupled with the breeze blowing across them,
We hope and dream that the breeze is strong enough to silence the waves.


For those who have felt the breeze flow through their lives,
They would agree that there is nothing like it in the world.


I have felt the breeze, and yes it did quite the sound of the crashing waves,
And for that reason, I am truly thankful.
