Sea Spray
The sea has its rewards and its downfalls
Young men misjudge her daily
Her tempest surge swallow whole ships by the day
Sometimes ripples just softly enough to put you to sleep
Ships driven by sturdy resilient men will find their way
Others driven by the uncouth cowardly men will falter
Adventure in far enchanted lands are real just go
Vice staying content in the drudges of day to day bustle at home
Keep in mind lives are at stake with every course and speed change
Though one should enjoy the spray with humility and grace
