Wonders of the Sea

(Gary Bowman)
.
"The sea is as near as we come to another world."
Anne Stevenson
.
Another world, on display,
Trumpet fish announce the day
Dolphins spin, from waters leap; Leviathan is diving deep
Come along with me, Wonders of the Sea
Flashlight creatures of the deep,
A child’s sense of wonder keep

Amazing stories, yet untold; Surreal mysteries unfold
Deepwater canyon, and deep seamount,
So many creatures, We can’t count
Come along with me, Wonders of the Sea
Another world, on display;
So very near, yet so far away

(Come see the) mighty works of his hands
(Bless the Lord, oh, my soul)
From sea to shining sea (From the rivers…)
To the ends of the earth (Fish passing through…)
All the paths of the sea
Fish swimming in the sea

"If a child is to keep alive his sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in." - Rachel Carson
