Cold Seas and an Ocean Breeze

To my Mother:

Cold Seas and an Ocean Breeze, the waves crash wildly against the shore.
The unleashed majesty of the water, the barely contained awe and excitement of the witness.

This is what we live for.
This is what we love.

I love you like Spider-Man.
I love you like the colour purple.
I love you like bike rides and board games.
I love you like homemade mac ‘n’ cheese.
I love you.
