The Shore

From the shore I watched the ship And imagined I was there. Closed my eyes and felt the spray Of ocean in my face and hair. “One day,” I said to myself, “I will be there.” From the ship I glanced at the shore And saw a boy standing there And I remembered that once, That boy was me, Dreaming of the day I would be free. From the shore I watch the sea. Gone was the ship that carried me Away, that grand yesterday, When I was alive and free, But tomorrow I will return here To the shore.
