The Sailor

Ever since the creation of boats Man was inspired by the Arc of Noah The sailor started his journey at sea To explore the ocean in various embarkations Requiring lot of endurance and patience A very perilous and tedious job Exposing himself to the perils of the waters The tar risks his life to feed his family Most of the time being at sea His dear ones miss him frequently Travelling from one country to another He lands in different ports of the world Exposing himself to storms and tsunamis He has to fight against the corsairs Father, father when will you be back? Asks the little boy with an innocent voice Can he answer the kid? As many uncertainties await him at sea Sailor, sailor your life is at stake Every now and then you need a break Although your mind tosses over the ocean Yet your heart is always at home As there is no guarantee about your future What will happen to your wife and children?

Hi, I think we met in a writers meeting if not mistaken. I like this poem especially as i adore the sea and all that is connected to it. I write novel but I have been trying to compose some poems. Keep it up.
