The Restless Wave
Courtesy of Thomas Joseph Simpson
When I go down to the ocean
I watch the restless wave
It is nature's only tombstone
In memory of the brave
Beneath the ocean's surface
In the dark and silent deep
In God's hands are the heroes
For whom our hearts still weep
The years have passed so quickly
But my vigil I still keep
They are not dead but resting
In the ocean fast asleep
There are no special markers
In this graveyard far from shore
Just restless waves above them
For now and evermore.
