Katrine's Poem

Some of my family may like to see/read a poem written by Katrine Matthis Bailey.  It was written at Conway, South Carolina on October 10th, 1972.  She loved going to the beach and to the marked difference it had to offer, after living inland, in the mountains.

 

Caress of the Sea

 

An ocean breeze, kiss of the sea,

ruffled my hair, and sang to me,

sang songs of peace, and rest and ease,

sang songs of hope, my heart to please;

rested my soul of all it's stress,

bathed my body with each caress,

repose I found beside the sea,

repose that made new life for me.
