Sailing Over An Ocean of Tears

Our life's boat is endlessly sailing,  
On the waters of an ocean of tears:
The tears of joy 
And
The tears of grief,
Shed by
The struggling Humanity in its quest 
For 
Happiness throughout history.

Bill Baker Date: 11/11/2023 9:42:00 PM A true, but sad statement, my dear friend. Nice to see your poem today. I haven't checked your page for a while and almost missed it. The tears can wear on an aging soul such as I. My time may be nearing. I'm healthy, but my heart is susceptible to the pain and suffering going on throughout the world and is breaking. I so want for Love to prevail. May your days be blessed, Demetrios.

It is true that we are old but this means that we are blessed souls as well for not all people can reach your age and mine. Enjoy the trip till it is over. Be blessed!
