Photo19- Ballad of the Sea


He looked out at the sea
What power she held when angered
Like being stung by a bee
Many have been lost to her wrath

What started as a warm sunny day
Turned into a nightmare
Nothing could keep her anger at bay
No one was safe from her

Children played in the sand
People were sunbathing on the beach
Everything was grand
No one expected what would come

Fishermen were out on their boats
Making great catches
Kids in the water on their floats
Splashing, shouting, having a great time

The man on the dock
Noticed the wind picking up
And water crashing against the rock
“I think a storm is brewing” he said

She came with little warning
No one was prepared
It ended in mourning
For those who were caught by her

She left the survivors in fear
About what she would do next time
So be careful dear
Not to make her mad
