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
