The cold water lapped
At the dilapidated remains of the vessel.  
Echoes of laughter
From so many summers past, 
Now a distant memory.

The body lies still, no breath to take,
A loved one's gone, a heart does break,
But where does the essence of the soul go,
Beyond this life,...

A captain will navigate his ship
keeping it safe for his men.
A pilot will navigate his plane
for his passengers.
Like the ship's captain and the airline pilot,
