Ocean Child.

I am an Ocean Child. 

I was not meant for the world.

I was meant for the sea. 

I was meant to fly. 

To bask in the sun. 

and to breathe. 

I am an Ocean Child. 

Sun kissed skin. 

Sea sprayed eyes. 

I am gentle like a starfish. 

Wise as a leather back.

A spirited sea lion.

I am an Ocean Child.
The salty water is my home.
Seaweed hair and scaly skin.
I was raised by the waves
Grounded here, like a coral reef
I'll stay for the rest of my days.

because I am an Ocean Child.
