I once had a boat
I once had a boat. My only friend and solace. It gently rocked me to sleep Cool breeze on my face. I shared with it my best days And so many evenings alone. I never did row, stay put. Many ways it felt home. The boat wanted to leave shore Adventure was its call. Float in the deep blue ocean Or watching waves crash tall. When another sailor came by It set out for the seas. With a heavy heart, I bade goodbye The anchors I did release. It is never coming back, I know. It will never be my home again. Yet I gaze at the horizon wondering; Why the heart hopes in vain!
