 For Mia As I sit here by the ocean
With my daughter at my side
And I watch the many people
Greet the incoming tide
I can't help but feel the
sorrow
Echo through the gales of
laughter
As I feel the lives of
those we love
Slip away from us faster
and faster
Strangers now among us
Those who do not understand
As they run and swim and
fish
And build their castles in
the sand
I'm sure they've suffered
loss
Felt their hearts just
burst with sadness
But how can they ignore
our pain,
Our souls as we
deal with all this madness?
I cry. I sigh. I grasp the
hand
of the daughter that I love
I caress her little fingers
As soft as the coo of a
Morning Dove
She looks up the the
Heavens
And smiles brightly at the
sky
As the many hungry seagulls
Fly about and cry
Then her glance turns
towards the ocean
And I hear the crashing of
the waves
And I'm hit with such a
Peace
Which shakes my Spirit as
it saves
My Sanity, my Heart, my
Soul for another day
And I can again watch all
the people
As they run and play
For once again my child has
taught me
That through Pain we can
find Joy
And Peace and Love and
Spirit
Even when they may seem coy
Because although I hear the
laughter
Of children as the ocean
waves roll along
It's Nature's Chorus I now
hear clearly
Singing Mia's Song
