Have you ever seen the pounding sea <br />As the tides crash on shore <br />Have you ever seen a falling bird <br />That's lost it's will to continue on anymore <br /> <br />I can see her now just outside <br />She is playing with her friends <br />Mama can we stay awhile <br />She was only ten <br /> <br />So young so many questions why <br />She would ask me about life <br />I said to her all things that lived <br />One day too all must die <br /> <br />One day while in her teens <br />From this world she slipped away <br />Have you ever felt the pounding sea <br />Felt the wrath of great tidal waves <br /> <br />Did you ever simply wake up to find <br />Your whole world is left behind <br />The heavens know I miss her still <br />The daughter that once was mine <br /> <br />Have you ever lost the will to live <br />Did you ever lose someone you love <br />Although we so still miss them so <br />They wouldn't want us to ever give up <br /> <br />Did you ever wish you could have said good-bye <br />Until my love we meet again one day <br />Have you ever felt the pounding sea <br />Or felt the wrath of great tidal waves. <br /> <br /> <br />2006 Bill Simmons<br /><br />Bill Simmons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-pounding-sea/
