Favorite Quote:
What is impossible with man is possible with God. Luke 18:27


Go my love, follow your dreams.
Hoist the sails, Sail away from me.
Be cautious my dear, of the rough seas.
I worry that you won’t return to me.

Flee my love, escape this life.
Find adventure, take your knife.
Be careful my dear and avoid strife.
When you come home, I’ll become your wife.

You feel trapped here, so leave, go away.
This life of ours is too mundane.
You packed your bags, now I want you to stay.
Without you, all skies seem gray.

The salty water calls out you,
The turquoise seas and cloud’s white hue.
Look to our lighthouse when you say adieu.
The light will be shining the whole night through.

Sail away, my love, you have to try.
I know you need to climb this climb
Hold me my dear, one last time.
Ignore my tears as I cry.
