the tide crashes in
raging waves of emotion
delight in another's presence
exuberant love and devotion
but love to God and man
is more than waves of emotion

the tide rolls out
still ripples of emptiness
quiet calm rests the sea
and emotion fades into nothingness
but love to God and man
is more than waves of emotion

love is beyond
the waves of the sea
it's a choice
a commitment to be
a friend forever
to accept another always
to give all forever
to forgive another always
to be there forever
love is beyond
the waves of the sea

tide ebbs and flows
yet waves remain
and love will grow
consistent and true
like the rise of the sun
