      Ocean Child - William G. DeFoore Ph.D.

      Chapter One: Inside the Walls

      In a small sleepy village ,

      Not far from the coast

      Lived Gale and her family,

      Much poorer than most.

      Her father a miller

      Her mother at home.

      Gale often grew restless

      Her heart longing to roam.

      Gale’s home was a sad place,

      And she had nowhere to hide.

      So she sank into herself

      And kept her pain inside.

      The walls she created

      Did help her some,

      But her greatest freedom

      Lay in dreams of days to come.

      Her longing grew stronger

      As it does for us all

      And at moments she was quiet enough

      To hear the ocean call.

      Chapter Two: Dreams of the Sea

      Since first sweet Gale laid eyes on the sea,

      She knew it was there she wanted to be,

      To walk the decks of the ships, tall and proud

      To peer from the crow’s nest and cry out loud,

      Laaaand HO!

      And watch the crew hop to . . .

      There is nothing that Gale would rather do.

      BUT SHE
