This poem was inspired by a web-site here on the net which bears the same title. An Ocean Full Of Soul

Inside this place we congregate
Are people from most every state

Each one different; unlike the other
But, all alike in our love for one another

The unique way we chose our voice
Lends a pause; while at times a choice

Our special way of seeing simple things
Sends a smile to our hearts at the joy we bring

Lending comfort to those in need
It begins with us,; we plant the seed

Showing our hearts to the world each day
Soothing saddened spirits with the words we say

Lightening the load of our family and friends
Always remaining, through the bitter end

Neglecting ourselves to the point of pain
Sometimes wondering why this life is sustained

Feeling the pleasure of our words to your heart
Thankful each day that we have our part

The words that we share forever paying our toll
Lending to us this ocean full of soul.
