Child Of The Sea
Crashing waves upon the shore,
Take my soul forever more,
Spray of salt water on my face,
Deliver me from this hapless place.
Been gone too long, I yearn for home,
Surrounded by the ocean foam,
Poseidon, I'm here, my mighty king,
My praises, only to you I sing.
Queen of selkies, merfolk friend,
Unity you don;t see, here on land.
Swim with dolphins, speak with whales,
Wear a crown crafted from shells.
Feel the sea weed in my hair,
Breathing water, I need no air.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Follow starfish where they go,
Travel where the urchins grow.
I am a child of the sea,
There is nothing here on land for me,
Away from the harbor, I return to you,
Back to where my heart is true.

About Me
About me
My name is Elizabeth and I am a mother of four boys and one girl. I love to read more than any thing, nothing thrills me more than an new book. The look,feel, and smell of one excites me. My favorite genre is fantasy.
My hero is J. K. Rowling. Her story of rags to riches amazes me. Her stories will be read by millions for generations to come, and to me this makes her queen!
Location: Colorado Springs Colorado
