“Sure,” I say, and she scoots over on her bed making room for me as I begin my song.

The moonlight guides the dance of the sea,

A whispered story of eternity.

From shore to shore, we ride the waves,

In the ebb and flow, our hearts are saved.

Oh, the ebb and flow of the ocean’s grace,

A timeless waltz, in this boundless space.

With every rise and fall, we find our way,

In the ebb and flow, we’re here to stay.

The waves, they sing a song, a haunting tune,

A symphony of life, in the light of the moon.

From the coral reefs to the deep abyss,

In the ebb and flow, we find our bliss.

The moonlight guides the dance of the sea,

A whispered story of eternity.

From shore to shore, we ride the waves,

In the ebb and flow our hearts are saved.

Oh, the ebb and flow of the ocean’s grace,

A timeless waltz, in this boundless space,

With every rise and fall, we find our way,

In the ebb and flow, we’re here to stay.

In the ebb, we learn to let things go,

In the flow, we let our spirits grow,

In the rhythm of the sea, we find our peace,

In the ebb and flow, our love will never cease.

I gently brush Amelia’s hair off her face with a smile as her little eyes flutter closed.

Oh, the ebb and flow of the ocean’s grace,

A timeless waltz, in this boundless space,

With every rise and fall, we find our way,
