The Man, the Sun and the Sea

The Man's eyes lay upon the vast ocean blue,
As the summer sun dims to a timid hue.
While his days dwindle down to a precious few,
He remembers days long past due.

The Man, Couragous and free,
Glides along the open sea.
The dingy he masters is all he needs,
Because on the ocean he is truly free.

The Sun, Comforting and True.
Lights the way on the ocean blue.
For sailors, boaters and crewmen alike-
The sun is truly a summer sight.

The Sea, deep and blue.
Provides life for me and you.
Sea creatures, humans and sailors know.
The ocean is the best place to go.

As the man chuckles, his breaths slowing fast.
His memories come back at last.
The fun and adventure, being wild and free.
Always ended up at the sea.
The man smiled, as he knew what was next.
It was his time to join the sea again, safe at last.

I love you Grampa. May your Summer be as calm and cool as the roll of the sea.
