A Sailor's Dream
Though my ship is small,
my sails are tall,
With ambitions high,
I ride the Sea,
I know that some where,
way out there,
True love abides,
does wait for me.
One may say,
"It's only a Sailor's Dream".
He might pray,
that love doesn't ride,
life's ocean's tide,
But I look beyond,
the obvious things that seems,
to attempt to hide,
my diligent stride.
I cast my nets,
Into the uncertain deep,
each time I search my catch,
only to cast them
again and again.
Maybe next time,
I'll find my match.
Through out my life,
I have searched in vain,
looking here and there,
but end results,
only the pain,
for all the quest
remained the same.
Then do I let downs my nets,
just one more time?
Watching them disappear
beneath the salty brine?
While looking across
an endless sea,
with high hope,
and of possibilities to be.
Now tugging hard,
with all my might,
contrary currents I must fight,
my endless quest by
day and night,
but �WAIT� be still my anxious heart,
What beauty arises
from the depths so dark?
Yet do I dare?
Into her "Radiant Eyes",
so deeply stare.
OH yes!
And with all cares to the
wind be lost there.
Can this be?
Is it really happening to me?
At last, "MY LOVE" my
Dreams come true.
I give thanks to the Lord above,
for he has given me you.
So take heed, you voyagers
that labor in doubt.
Tis� time to bring your ships about.
Just cast your nets one more time,
for in them you to may surely find,
your hopes of all
your "dreams" come true.
It happened to me
it can happen to you. ~
