Life Is An Ocean

Life Is An Ocean was inspired by the life and words of Christopher Reeve. Chris and his wife Dana are now reunited in Heaven, two super heroes in life who did not back down in the fight against ailment and ignorance. In his final interview with Barbara Walters on 20/20 one year before he died, Reeve said: "Being physically paralyzed for eight years, I get pretty impatient with people who are able-bodied but are somehow paralyzed for other reasons. You know, all the reasons people don't become what they could become or don't fulfill their potential, and they're walking around able-bodied, I'm going, 'come on, come on, go for it."

"Life Is An Ocean"

C’mon
C’mon
Go for it
Able to but never do

I can
I can
Take a chance
I am not a super fool

Unlike
Unlike
My hero
I live within a prison

My mind
My mind
So shallow
My mind, a kiddy pool

This life
What life?
Avoid sharks
Life is an ocean, swim

Very good poem and very inspirational indeed. Life is an ocean with tides that sometimes rise and fall other times.

Life IS an ocean, a vast and wondrous place full of possibilities. My motto: I would rather try and fail, then fail to try. Good poem.
Be safe,
Karen
