Ocean Inspiration Poem
You
I know you my sons.
You can be anything.
You are able to fix everything but death.
All you need is a roadmap and hands.
Your fingers are strong, toss the Rubbermaid lid opener,
feel the struggle with my lungs when the waves overcome,
turn on the gas when you are tired, find the kick,
Only mac n cheese the electricity is shut off.
You require a plan.
Two feet walk across the ocean.
Follow the sunset west, or the pelicans if you must.
"Get up," I say "Don’t die on me Mom."
"God I hate a quitter."
You can be anything.
