The ocean is a metaphor For your strength and dignity And you bring out the best In everyone you see Though the waves may crash And threaten to destroy your world You hold your head up high Without the help of any Lord Your hair is golden honey And your eyes like icy rain The inner beauty of you soul Shines through through all the pain The courage of your heart Is stronger than the greatest soldier And I hope you'll stay and lend your strength Even though we'll both get older Darling, you deserve the world Even if you don't believe it And anything you put your mind too I'm sure you will achieve it
For the wonderful Yvonne, who happens to love my poetry
