My Father Speaks

 
"Open your heart," He said to me,
"And taste the wind and taste the sea,
I've tossed the waves and stirred the air
in freedom, with my perfect care.
 
I've scattered shells upon the sand,
and driftwood, too, from forest-land,
And heaped the mountains closely by
to catch the glow of evening sky.
 
I've made them all with you in mind
and firmly left my prints behind,
That through my work your heart will see,
I love you, child, stay close to me."
