OCEAN WAVES

Waves loudly applaud
In gratitude to God
And shout BRAVO on reaching full crest
Then they gently recede
Being spent of their speed
And lay back still to find rest

Then gathering strength
They stretch out full length
And prepare for full praise once again
With another proud roar
They CRASH on the shore
Then creep bank in their Silent Amen

Since the world began
Unfathomable to man
Is the respect nature pays to its Lord
As ocean waves rise
Themselves in full praise
Why can’t mankind behave in accord?
