The tide goes out,
the tide rolls in.
It repeats this cycle,
over and over again.
~
But when the tide’s out,
and in its ebb stage.
I can still hear its roar,
like a lion in its cage.
~
Sea shells and sand dollars,
in ebb tide’s tracks.
Pick em up, toss em in,
our memory filled sacks.
~
Ebb tides leave behind,
memories to take home.
Remembering what fun we had,
on the shores in which we’d roam.
~
Each shell would never make it.
They have no place to hide.
The water that once covered it,
is now gone with the ebb tide.
~
This memory I’ll never forget,
even though you’re not by my side.
I’ll send a little message to you,
amidst the great ebb tide.
~
A written message just for you,
I’ll throw into the sea.
I miss you, love you,
and wish you were here with me.
