Sun shines on the water silver fairies dance
The geese come in to land watch their webbed feet prance.
The sun is climbing higher in to the blue blue sky
I stand alone on the beach, alone . I ask myself why.
I see the children run along the beach
I wonder where they’re headed and if their goals they’ll reach.
Mums and Dads follow on with picnics carefully wrapped
Standing here I can only watch a tormented soul truly trapped.
For eons I have stood here only allowed to spectate
All I can do is pray for kindness, all I can do is wait.
Then at last I see him, my child emerging from the sea
He runs to me after all this time we are united and finally both of us are free.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cold now the water is col, it was warm at first
It holds me down yet carries me but it does not quench my thirst.
I do not thirst for water only for warmth and light
It is so cold and dark down here I can’t say if it’s day or night
Where is my mum, where has she gone
She was here with me playing why has it all gone wrong.
Years have come and years have gone and yet I am still here
I think I’ll never feel the sun or sand, or see my mum again I fear.
Then at last the angel came and gently lifted me
In to the sun and the blessed warmth up out of the sea.
I see my mum standing there rooted to the spot
I feared she might of left, I am glad that she has not.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two souls at last united after years and years apart
At peace now united peaceful at last in God’s heart!
