Ode To My Boat

On a sunny day You give me shade You carry me Throughout the waters Taking me where I must go On a winters day You give me shelter Keeping me warm In a sky Full of wind and storm On a good day We sail We laugh We dance on the fields of ocean Without a care Or cloud in the sky On a bad day we wait For the storm to pass And you keep me afloat When I cannot swim When the day comes That you cannot sail Or cannot dance I will lay with you And wait For your wooden frames To come apart And I will sing to you As the storm Comes To pull you in

Reminds me of a poem that I wrote called "I Miss My Canoe". It can be found at AllPoetry.com Your poem is well written and conveys love in other relationships and ageing.

A well written and descriptive poem. Reminds me that I wrote one called "I miss my canoe." A love affair with a boat can keep us afloat!

This is such a clear-eyed, tender ode to a good friend---so why are my eyes misting up? ... So well-done, Rene...And welcome to Poetry Soup! Best wishes, Gershon
