The Sea is my Playground

I wait in anticipation

For the morning tide to come.

The gulls crying,

and the waves splashing,

Remind me that it was time to

pull in the nets.

Another day of fishing it is,

Another day of hoping more fish would be caught,

This is my livelihood,

A fisherman's wage I have,

and I wait for my next catch,

To feed my family.

It is this life I have,

Living it day to day,

Not knowing if I will bring in,

a fair catch to warrant a good pay.

I would not choose any other life,

For I love the sea and I love the waves,

A fisherman am I,

Nothing more and nothing less.
