Being Me: The Memoirs of a Caribbean Child

Ode to Her

The light, salty smell of the ocean

Lightly caressed by the sunlight of day

Being truly a blessing for us

Making everyone feel whole

I sit at my favorite quiet spot at the beach

I look on towards the calm blue ocean

And just sit and reminisce on good times

Just clear my head of all building thoughts

Then, she appears in my mind

Sweet, loving, caring, and encouraging

Beautiful beyond your wildest dreams

She was perfect, and just for me

I see her taking my hand in hers

We walk a long path to the ocean front

We gaze at the view, and share a kiss

One full of passion and content happiness

We are together for always

We breathe every single breath for each other

We'll stick together through thick and thin

We will love for eternity
