Analysis of What lies ahead
Seaside, my view today
From sandy shores
With waves at play
A time to ponder
A time to pray
A time to remember
Oh, to cherish today!
The feeling of warmth
From the radiant sun
The feeling of love
From God’s own son
A brilliant blue sky
A cool gentle breeze
A breathtaking view
Oh, nature’s honesty!
The distant horizon
That calls to me
Beyond the waves
Alone and free!
The soaring birds
The rush of wind
A gentle reminder
Of life well lived
