MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
By: Nancy G Brundrett alias "firefly"
SHE CAME TO HER OCEAN HOME
WHERE THE SAND AND TIDE MEETS FOAM
THE WORDS LOCKED IN HER HEART
YEARS AND MEMORIES TORE HER APART
FOOTPRINTS TRACING DOWN THE BEACH
THE SHELLS AND TREASURES WITHIN HER REACH
SHE CLIMBED THE OCEAN CLIFF
PATH WAS STEEP AND HIGH
HOLDING A BOTTLE, HER THOUGHTS OF DAYS GONE BY
REMEMBERING THIS PLACE AS A CHILD
RUNNING FREE, HER SPIRIT WAS WILD
NOW A LIFE TURNED AND TOSSED
REACHING FOR ALL THE THINGS SHE'D LOST
AND WITH ALL HER MIGHT
UNDER A WATCHFUL STARRY NIGHT
A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE NO ONE WOULD SEE
SHE PICKED IT UP AND THREW IT INTO THE SEA
INTO THE SEA
AND THE SALTY RAIN WAS FALLING DOWN
UPON THE STREETS OF THIS OLD SEASIDE TOWN
OUT OF THE BLUE, DOLPHINS ROSE AND KISSED THE SKY
SHE LOOKED TO HEAVEN ASKED HER GOD WHY
SHE DREAMED OF THE DAY
WHEN SOMEONE WOULD COME HER WAY
WITH A NEW SUNRISE AND NO PAIN
BRINGING BLUE SKIES, NO MORE RAIN
AND WITH ALL HER MIGHT
UNDER A WATCHFUL STARRY NIGHT
A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE NO ONE WOULD SEE
SHE PICKED IT UP AND THREW INTO THE SEA
INTO THE SEA
THE MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
WAS FROM THE DEPTH OF HER SOUL
IF YOU HAPPEN TO PICK IT UP
ON YOUR NEXT LONELY BEACH STROLL
READ THE WORDS AND STORY SHE TOLD
THE MESSAGE WAS HER LONGING TO BE WHOLE
THE MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
DRIFING OUT TO SEA
THE MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
WAS HER PRAYER TO BE SET FREE
THE MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
SHE PICKED IT UP AND THREW IT INTO THE SEA
INTO THE SEA
