Excellence Award in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition

Your hair is the ocean
Bound by the sea Long and graceful
But not free

Your body is the sand
Pale and sometimes tanned
In winter you are stormy
In summer you are calm

Your eyes are the mother of life
They hold the treasures of the sea
The fish, the sharks, the whales and the dolphins
You can find inside of thee

Your lips are the entry to the sanctum of the sea
They are as red as roses
And they are only for me

My heart is only yours
Because you are as beautiful as the sea
