Life’s a Never-Ending Sea

Life’s a never-ending sea,
full of turmoil and strife.
Good times and bad,
come and go upon the rippling waves.
We are like boats,
bobbing up and down,
on foamy white waves –
which lead us to our destiny.
Years and days like waves against the shore,
come and go
and they’re always turning us this way and that.
Life’s like a never-ending sea,
stretching onward forever,
as wide as from horizon to horizon.
We dance upon the waves,
swinging up and down.
The ups bring us much pleasure,
but the downs sadness.
For all the grief that life gives us –
we can be sure that the tides will turn things around.
Life’s a never-ending sea –
that we swim through our entire lives.
Storing our precious memories –
in the treasure chests of our minds.
Keeping them ever close to our hearts,
locked with a golden key.
There may come times when the waves,
may wash us ashore,
when we feel so lost and alone –
then a friend’s outstretched helping hand
and warm smile,
can put us back into the flowing stream.
A never-ending sea,
full of adventure and wonder.
Throughout our lives –
love comes and goes,
leaving warm feelings and smiles behind.
Those of us who experience the wonder,
of long and lasting love –
know that they’ll be sheltered,
for a whole life long.
That love will shine like the beam,
from a lighthouse gleam
and our life’s boat will never crash against the cliffs.
Friends come and go –
but we know that the faithful remain.
There are tears and smiles,
warm moments with family and friends –
who never leave our side.
In the brilliant waters,
on sunlit days when our life’s never-ending sea,
sparkles like a thousand glittering diamonds –
are some of the best days of our lives.
When the sea –
becomes gray and stormy,
we look to seek a haven,
among our loved ones,
until the sun comes out again.
On full moonlit nights,
when the waters,
shimmer in silvery light –
is when our most treasured memories,
are reflected from above.
If we try ever so hard,
we are sure to see –
the smiles of those we miss,
in the twinkling of every star from afar.
So we dance among the waves,
of this never-ending sea –
which always sails us forth,
to a brighter and shinier tomorrow.
If we live it right
and share our love with others,
we can be sure –
that upon the never-ending sea,
happy we will be.

Rasma, this verse is a beautiful message of making life more happy and loving. There are different types of love, and I know that the love for friends is just as important as what we have for family. I have gained many friends over the years since I started writing online and each and every one has my love. TCE and the members here have done much to instill the knowledge within me, that love is the basis of a good life and what the world needs. Thank you for writing this poem. Hugs!
You welcome Phyllis. Yes, life can be good if we just live it right and of course friends always bring warm feelings and smiles. Hugs right back to you.
Lovely work Rasma, and the sea has always been a wonderful simile for our lives in all extremes. Some great imagery and well penned verse. Well done.
Thank you Tony.
Beautifully and descriptively done, Rasma. You’ve painted a well-rounded picture of life. Thank you for sharing this.
You welcome William.
