Oh, how the deep-blue sparkles,
Sunlight glistening atop each wave—
And eagerly does she store it all up
As a vivid memory she yearns to save...
To keep it for times this winter
When she’s far, far, away...
And feels the need to reach out
For a change from a blustery day.
Then, shift of mood comes softly,
As her thoughts return to that scene,
Filling her soul with the peaceful sense
Of such beauty, once more being seen....
