Mermaid Story
by Tim Kavi
for such a time as this
traveling the world
I found your kiss
And when
the goddess talked
she wore your smile
and when she spoke
it was your voice
across the beach
your heart brought close
never to miss
it was your love
that drew
the shipwrecked man
to harbor
it was
the pretty mermaid
swimming near
that wore your face
and when I looked again
she wore
bridal lace
my sweet love
every man
has one chance
to come home
I am so glad
you plucked me
out of that water
and when
I told the story
all of the kids
gathered to hear
how mom and dad
started and built
a life that mattered
how the breach
was healed
the broken hearts
no longer tattered
How in the love
of the beautiful mermaid
goddess of my wife
brought me ashore
to a new life!
Your love saved me!
