A Rock, a Wave and Me
A rock I see, sat next to me
Not unlike any other
A rock so plain, yet beautiful
A mirror of its brother
And if I strain to see as far
As these old eyes can see
Perhaps I'll see the furthest rocks
Just peeping back at me
A wave rolls, breaking on the shore
As its fellow waves before
They ride the surfs wild horses
Then deplete themselves once more
A life spent short and shallow
But a record still of time
Unseen by none but me
Unmarked by none but mine
But mine alone to savour
As I bask here in the sun
And wonder at God's nature
And it's beauties every one
As I alone bare witness
To the fruits of God's intention
With Ink I mark this wondrous day
Most worthy of attention
