The sea. My first love.

The sea, my first love.

Had been 7 years since my feet walks in the sea.

I fell in love with the sea in 1991.

I found the Pacific Ocean going to Fort Ord, California.

I was a soldier, and she made me know peace and calm.

I went to her on an early January night.

I danced with the waves, and I told the so many stars above.

Dear Pacific, you are the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

I was station at Fort Ord for three years and

I walked the Monterey Bay sea-line every night, and I sang to the sea.

Beautiful lady, you never broke my heart.

You are waiting for me, and the sea would whisper to me.

Welcome home Johnnie.

Please stay with me and please don’t forget me.

When you leave me.

Remember I am waiting for you.

We will dance together again, and I will teach you.

You are not alone.

Johnnie
