The Water's Edge

I stand at the water’s edge,
   The tide rolls in and out,
   Washing away all my problems,
   Things I pray to be without…

   As the tide washes the shoreline,
   The sand becomes clean once again,
   Like a person confessing his sins,
   My sadness starts to wane…

   Hope and faith start to flourish,
   As the water washes my soul,
   Feelings of happiness again abundant,
   And once again I am whole…

   Life is never hopeless,
   No matter what we may face,
   Grab onto the feelings of happiness,
   And never lose it’s embrace…
