Message In A Bottle Poem by Janice M Pickett

Dear Ocean floor unknown
you see me standing on your shore alone
I am looking out across your wide expanse
14,000 thousand miles from home

I needed to send a message
so I placed it in a bottle
to tell a special person
just how much I love her

I gave it to a Dolphin
he held it in his mouth
He promised to deliver it
as he was heading south

This is another bottle
I am throwing out to you
you see that dolphin did not deliver it
my message did not get through

Now it is too late for me
to tell my special one
just how much I love her
My message has now gone

To you dear depth of the ocean
down to you I now send another
for she has left for heaven now
Please send love to my Mother
