The Sailor

I sail my boat through sea after sea so many wonders of wonders ive seen nantucket is my native home seems its years since i've been gone a sailor am i like my father before never afraid to weather the storm the sea is lonely so many still say to honor my father i make my own way sails and wind are my only friends i will see this journey to its end a bounty catch i will bring home to thee a bountyful wonder your eyes to see i'm just a man who shall sail so free i have the spirit of my father in me brave and strong i'm ever so proud to stand on the mantle laid in a shroud sail on they say sail on come back to us safe and free.....someday
