Life's lesson
I once went to the ocean and down under water and that's when i realized something.
It was calm it was beautiful it had a sight to remember, but against all odds, I was still trembling.
I saw fish and some corals and touched the bed of the deep blue ocean.
But the depth of this beauty, still kept me under caution.
Out on the shore, i once again stared, and the sight of its beauty, don't know why i wasn't scared.
But the waves that glided, that felt so playful, made me realize, don't dare.
I learnt that day, as there was a lesson, somethings we need to be prepare.
What is shown is something they see, what you don't is always a mystery.
Stay calm as the sea and beautiful as the ocean, and be loved at the sight of your presence.
Your sight is something that should me mesmerizing, your depth should still be something they fear.
