Lost At Sea

The coastal guards searched the ocean for miles around But by them no trace of him was found His wife and son and daughter then of five and three Him were never more to see The long distance swimmer never more Will swim miles out of the ocean shore Perhaps swallowed by a giant wave His is a deep watery grave Twenty eight in his life's prime When he swam for the last time For everyone there's a last tea Just like the brave one lost at sea To the beach he did not swim back Some say maybe a victim of a shark attack Though most say he drowned in a huge wave In his case fortune did not favour the brave Four years ago his wife and children last see him When he went for his last swim She is now another fellow's wife This is how it is with life.
