It was a bright sunny morning, when
the boat was ready to sail
Father squalled, and called out my name,
asking me to reach without fail.
Its full father, with so many
people on it, I exclaimed
Don’t bother, just sit down, I
promise you won’t be maimed!
The sand on the shore, and the
stones hurting my feet
Handed me a collection of shells
so neat!
The girl next to me is trying to
make way
Moving a little forward and ready
for the sway!
The bucket in my hand
And the thrill in my eyes
All set leave
This city full of spies!
Thousands of sailors have come
together
Giving wings and not just feather
Wandering their hearts, chasing
their dreams
Filled with hope and a fighting
spirit it seems!
It’s going to be a bouncy way
ahead
Rippling and riding over its head
In some hours, I’ll be at the
other end of the world
So close to my desires, ready to
be unfurled!
It happened all in a jiffy
Hoping it doesn’t get iffy!
Coming so close to what I’ve
always wanted
Just a little more effort, my
heart said undaunted
You’re very close to your
destination
Get ready for this incredible
revelation
For giving up will leave nothing
in your hand
So keep your head high and take
your own stand!
