Why does the ocean cry

Is she happy the sun warms her waters

The sun is a friend on cold, breezy days

Is she crying joyful tears

Or are her tears of jealousy

For the lovely sky, the sweet, sweet sky

So sweet not to complain when the

Ocean steals her colors and proudly

Proclaims that water is blue

Is she crying because she is just a boring

Clear and not some vivid, lustrous hue

Oh, Ocean, why do you cry

Does she cry anger, fury, and rage

For those litterbugs who leave trash in her waves

For the plastic taking her life

Is that why she takes the lives of so many others

Why does the ocean cry

Why does she leave her tears all over the world

Her salty, salty tears
