Getaway

Week 10 - I love the serenity of the sea. Just being in unfamiliar surrounds also helped me to destress... thank God for His beautiful creation!

 

Natividad Marquez -

 

"Why does the sea laugh, Mother,

 

 

 

As it glints beneath the sun?

 

 

It is thinking of the joys, my child,

 

 

 

That it wishes every one.

 

 

Why does the sea sob so, Mother,

 

 

 

As it breaks on the rocky shore?

 

 

It recalls the sorrows of the world.

 

 

 

And weeps forevermore.

 

 

Why is the sea so peaceful, Mother,

 

 

 

As if it were fast asleep?

 

 

It would give our tired hearts, dearest child,

 

 

 

The comfort of the deep."
