Carolina Girl

The Pearl

Simple times are the best for this Carolina girl,
If the world is an oyster, I may have just found a pearl,
On the banks of North Carolina, where the waves beat the shoreline,
Like the rhythmic sound of a distance drum, this place is divine,
A natural lullaby that takes away the stresses of the days gone by,
Where the white puffy clouds cover the clear blue sky,
In perfect harmony, and the sand between my toes,
Takes away a lifetime of woes,
For now, in this moment, everything is right,
No troubles, no worries, no heartache, no fight,
As I watch the next generation of Harvey boys playing,
I find myself thanking God, and prayerfully saying,
Thank you, Lord, for this time together,
For family time, for perfect weather,
For nature’s way of showing your glory,
And for making this day a part of our story,
Life goes by fast, and the changing tides here remind me,
That there are highs, and there are lows, but you are beside me,
Your grace is sufficient for this Carolina girl,
Who is enjoying this perfectly formed shiny pearl!
