O is for Ocean

The first time I saw the ocean

The first time I saw the ocean
I gasped in pure delight
For stretching out forever
Was such an awesome sight.

I was envious of the ones
Who saw it every day
And marveled at the confidence
Of the little kids at play.

I stood and looked at it awhile
Not wanting the moment to end
For I felt a sense of belonging
As if the ocean were my friend.
