The First Time I Saw the Ocean

The first time I saw the ocean
I gasped in pure delight
For stretching out forever
Was such an awesome sight.
I was envious of the ones
Who saw it every day
And marvelled at the confidence
Of the little kids at play.
I stood and looked at it awhile
Not wanting the moment to end
For I felt a sense of belonging
As if the ocean were my friend.

Hi Thena, it's Jennifer H from Scrapjazz. I love this ocean poem! I'm printing it out to use on a page where my kids first saw the ocean when we moved to California. It's perfect! Thanks for this and for all the wonderful poetry you so generously share with all of us.
