A small orange and white fishing boat floating peacefully on the lovely turquoise waters off Bonaire.

My husband loves the sea - any and all waters - but the the colors of the Caribbean waters are the most magical. The hues are just amazing. This scene was photographed by a friend while on a cruise. It is a great representation of the many bright sunny tranquil days we've spent in the islands.

Peaceful Waters by Darlene Doll Smith

Peaceful waters;
flow through my mind.
Helping me;
to leave worries behind.

Peaceful waters;
stir my soul.
Taking me;
Closer to my goal.

Peaceful waters;
heal my heart.
Calming me;
While we're apart.

Peaceful waters;
where the Creator abides.
Connecting me;
As a spiritual guide.

Peaceful waters;
restoring my gleam.
Soothing my spirit;
Carrying me to dreams.
