Sailing on a saltine sea
With cottonball clouds overhead
Watching the gulls, bob and weave
And wishing I was with you instead.
Wind and wave and salty spray
Spring from the bow like a shower
When my shift is over at the end of the day
It is no wonder my attitude is sour.
With a gentle sea to rock me to sleep
I will dream of you in all you glory
And pray the lord, my safety keep
So there will be a happy ending to this story.
Sailing the oceans to foreign lands
Is an exciting way of life
It just wasn't in my plans
How much I would miss my wife.
With that said I'll close this night
And hope the helmsman steers a steady course
To reduce the distance to our home site
And back to you, I have no remorse.
Good night my love
My thoughts fly to you
On the wings of doves
And in dreams too.
The day has dawned once more
Billowing sails bringing me closer to home
The clouds drifting from a foreign shore
Making this the end of this poem.
