A sailors life

Eamon1943

proper brummie kid
I'd like to live on a sailboat to sail across the sea

An exit from this life I know just the boat and me

I'd sail across all seven seas adventures in my wake

Calling in to many ports decisions I would take

Maybe I could write a book as I sail far out at sea

Pages full of happy times lived by a younger me

Sailing into the unknown a passion I've always had

Maybe I'm a dreamer some would think me mad

Grandad was a sailor telling me stories of the sea

He'd sit me on his lap this is what he said to me

"Always stay on coarse boy the way you want to go

Never fear of failure lad as the tide moves to and fro "
