For the Love of a Fisherman

This poem is dedicated to my daughter, Michelle and my son-in-love, Leroy and to their children, my beautiful grandsons, Liam & Avery. Thank you for being.



My bathroom

Smells
Like the ocean
Deep, salty,
Briny air


Even clean

His wet clothes
Smell of fish
And sea

My kitchen sink
Is full of shells
With critters
Still intact

The fisherman
Has brought them home
For his sweetheart
Who loves them both
The salty seaman
And the wild ocean

And I am witness
To their love and hate
Their comings
And their goings

Their separations
And togetherness
As turbulent
And as majestic
As the ever 
Changing Ocean
