NEVER BEEN TO THE OCEAN

NEVER BEEN TO THE OCEAN

Roger A. Davis


I have seen the sea of tranquility on the moon
And Kansas wheat fields’ waves, making one swoon
As a young boy, I played in the waves of a local lake
Hoping, one day, to see the ocean blue
Five decades have gone past, yet to partake
This beached whale of Kansas is long over due
To spawn back to his destiny on seas and coast
To swim, cruise, dive and see the tempest storm
All before my journey to the Heavenly Host
Where His glory will pale all oceans’ form
My calling is to be a creature calling out
Praises to the Maker and the Calmer of the sea
Someday soon, oceans to view, without a doubt
Destiny fulfilled, His praises forever to plea
For eternity
