Life's Sandy Beach
I paused in wistful reflection
as I walked along the shore,
to contemplate the tragedy
of the stranded Man-of-War
What quirk of fate or destiny
what lesson could he teach,
and how careless of one born of the sea
to be washed upon the beach
I though in mirrored reflection
of the analogy to man,
and how life's currents and eddies
can wash us upon the sand
But we have one advantage
the Man-of-War does not -
if stranded on life's sandy beach
we can simply stand up and walk
this
