Sailing In the Spirit of Hope

				  I 
				Have 
			            Got a soul
			        Established from
			     The very foundations 
		                    It is sailing as a vessel 
		                 Thru the tides of long ago~
		                 In order that I may obtain,
		      A vast knowledge of this present world ~
	                      From what there is truly left of it to gain, 
	                 That I may lend of it, that which I have learned
	               So that others that come after me shall maintain.
				  I
				 Am 
	      A soul born of generations past, living in the right now,
       Sailing in the spirit of a generational faith, through an ever-present 		
			   sea of hopefulness

This is an excellent poem. I like the flow of the words and the topology. This appears to be a Christmas concrete poem. I really like the ending lines regarding the ancestors and their knowledge of faith. Great job! ~Joseph.
