To You

To all the ships at sea
I bid you farewell
As the wind echoes through the sky
And as petals fall onto the ground,
I bid you farewell
With a smile, to those I have touched
As the day breaks into a dawn,
Look up and you will see
A ray that I send to my land
That had given me Life
To the breath that I have taken
To a night that has ended
With its stars, shone in my light
That is what I offer
And that is what I leave.
