The rhythm of waves lapping on the shore,
Is like a beautiful symphony I've never heard before;
With every wisp of sea breeze that I inhale,
I'm finding the strength to stand up and face the gale;
For I've been caught up in the maelstroms of life,
Now I'm lying on the sand, finding it hard to revive...

As I remained unconscious by the waterside,
I dreamt of an angel cruising in with the tide;
He sat by me and listened to my shipwreck story,
As I complained, he smiled and spoke slowly;
The words he uttered are unforgettable to me,
For the wisdom he spoke changed who I am to be.

I awake to the rhythm of the lapping waves,
I embrace this familiar symphony with a smile on my face;
The words of my angel still ring in my ears,
I get to my feet and face my fears;
Calling out to the Lord, master of the sea,
Thanking Him for the angel He sent to me.

For my angel I have changed my outlook towards life,
I look not on my setbacks but rejoice for I'm alive;
I have chosen to give up my pessimistic ways,
Vowing to be optimistic, smiling always;
And when things get rough every once in a while,
I'll picture my angel and his beautiful smile.

"I am once more challenging life's dark waters,
Making it through the tempestuous weathers;
In you, dear angel, I have found meaning in life,
My motivation, my determination and a reason to strive;
You have given me reason to make a difference,
I'll perfect myself and go the distance;
Letting the Lord work marvels in me,
Because you are my angel and will always be.."

In every tidal wave I surf each day,
I think of my angel and the words he'd say
A new hope is alive with every heartbeat;
Perhaps in another dream we might once again meet...

The Rhythm of the Waves..

Imagine we are now standing by the seaside: watching the flow of the tides, listening to its melodic splashing sounds.. The sea breeze gently blowing, the tranquility sinks right down to the cores of our somewhat broken souls..yes, life isn't perfect and so are we..but as we savour this very moment, we feel the perfection of this beautiful scenery becoming so infectious that it seeps through the fine cracks of our brokeness making us feel whole, secure and spotlessly perfect.. What we feel at this very moment is none other than the prefect love of GOD... His love for us heals us completely from all our hurts and pains.. His love for us perfects our imperfections...and that is why we feel so complete and alive, surrounded by His beautiful and perfect creation..
Waves... from these expressions of water, life's unpredictability becomes clearer to us..there are times when the waves of our lives are gentle and soothing, brushing our legs lightly as we walk along the shore of happiness... the happiness we obtain from our encounters with these waves spread like the ripples on the water surface thoughout our whole being and warm our hearts... as we all know very well, these harmless water movements do not last forever...just as we are most of the time unprepared when tsunamis hit, we are certainly caught off-guard when life turns into a tempestuous sea..the gentle waves and the small ripples become our worst nightmares, turning into roaring waves and high tides...crashing and smashing our hopes and dreams in a flash...
When everything seems lost and we are left in the dark-facing the after effects of the maelstrom-GOD reaches out to us... Upon Him, our rock, we rebuild our hopes and dreams and let Him work His miracles-making our new dreams even more wonderous than our original plans... For when GOD closes a window, He opens a door... Trust evermore in GOD for He will hold our hands and lead us to greener pastures; do not worry for GOD is with us always...just enjoy the moment and dance to the rhythm of the waves with GOD in our lives...
