Hailey and the Ocean

Inspired by this photo of my granddaughter Hailey, taken by her mother Nicole.

Oh the blue and the line

where sky and water meet!

Look at the white foam

rushing, pounding the shore.

I shall sail on this wind

with these arms

lifted on this blue

promise of life.

over pounding surf

far above the pier

looking back and smiling

'Look! Mom! I'm flying!'

Excellent poem and picture. She's so lucky, I wish I could be in a place like that. You've captured all so well.

This is such a happy piece, one can not help but smile when reading. Very nice Mark.

Beautifully done poem for Hailey! The words and the picture go hand in hand, Mark. You should frame the two. Hailey would love to see this moment (framed by you) when she is older. This is a moment to treasure! Angi~

PS: I think the last line might read better if it was punctuated more like this: 'Look, Mom! I'm flying!'

Nicole said she was going to print it out with the picture and frame it. Thanks for the suggestion :)
