Let The Sea Break Your Heart


You're never just an impulsive decision

You're stronger than you know

Smarter than what you have learned

Be brave and bold 

Love with all your heart

You're no better than your neighbor

But you are better than what you were

Don't compare

Acknowledge your differences 

Move forward with compassion

Trust the process 

Let the sea break your heart

Let the waves crash upon you

Ad be faithful when they draw back

Leaving you in the shore

Consider yourself on level ground 

Sand won't help you grow 

Seek a firmer foundation

Let the wind pass through you

Dry your tears

You're in the sunshine now 

If you're not, your eyes are closed
