Claire V. Bogdanos

I’ve had this dream that comes and goes

From fingertips to tippytoes

Yet what it means none but God knows.

When I was small and loved to play

I’d splash in water all the day

Closeby the ocean or the bay.

I’ve spent my life beside the sea

It’s where I feel both safe and free

And where my ashes placed will be.

In sleep I hear the ocean’s roar

I sense the gulls that o’erhead soar

And pray that I still hug God’s shore !
