View to a Life

As I sit and watch the world go by,
The warm sun beats my face,
Colours and smells are all around,
Things happening at great haste.

As I sit and watch the world go by,
The sea, she swells and dips,
While childish play sounds fill the air,
Fond memories of such great trips.

As I sit and watch the world go by,
A storm cloud blocks my sun,
With it comes and emotional flood,
And the urge to jump and run.

As I sit and watch the boats go by,
The lifeboat, she is launched,
I send a prayer, to whoever is there,
For her presidential, safe return.

As I sit and watch the world go by,
The swell has eased to a calm,
For now it is, I am getting old,
And my night has finally dawned.
