The Little Mermaid

The sun shone brightly in the sky, Crowned with a rainbow there, While seagulls boldly chose to fly, As if without a care... As clouds rolled by ablaze with light, A ship sailed to the shore, Above the waves both blue and white That danced forever more... Below the waves where dolphins leapt, Triumphant full of glee, The little mermaid's dreams were kept And nestled tenderly... Her Father's Kingdom full of grace And wonders rarely known Were not enough to take the place Of dreams she called her own... The little mermaid made her way, From water to the land, Where one man took her breath away The day he held her hand... Two beating hearts were now as one, With joy more than enough, Beneath God's brilliant golden sun, Where lovers fall in love... The young man smiled, for he had found, A treasure trove divine, More beautiful than all around, In her, his Valentine... The little mermaid's dreams came true, He kissed her once, then twice, The day he told her, 'I love you! ' Was simply Paradise... Denis Martindale, copyright, May 2012. The poem is based on the magnificent painting by Thomas Kinkade called 'The Little Mermaid'.
