Remembrance of the Bay
Copyright Alice E. Steimle - 2003
I have so many treasured memories of the gentle Bay
All those times we had together, before I went away
The laughter and so much fun
That wonderful boat ride, into the fading sun

I'm sorry we can't be together this beautiful day
Now as I remember you fondly, I bow my head to pray
That God will keep you safe, in His loving arms
Keeping you out of danger, and any evil harms

Our outings when you couldn't even swim
I prayed that you would put your faith in Him
Before I knew it you were out on the surf
Look here Mama, this is my turf

Now you're both fully grown
Trust in the Lord, for you're never alone
I pray you'll be careful on that waving Sea
All I ask if that once in a while, you think of me
