I didn't go to church today,
I trust the Lord to understand.
The surf was swirling blue and white,
The children swirling on the sand.
He knows, He knows how brief my stay,
How brief this spell of summer weather,
He knows when I am said and done
We'll have plenty of time together.

Comments1Really enjoyed this poem! It evokes such a beautiful, relaxed picture, doesn't it? 🌊 There's this feeling of peace in choosing nature over a man-made structure. Whose point of view do you think it is from - a parent's or child's? 😊
