someday

A Fresh Wind Blowing 

One day I’ll go out with a fresh wind blowing, 
(And no one will know that I am going!) 
And all the dreams that didn’t come true, 
I’ll leave to another captain and crew. 

 My craft will be sturdy- my sails new and bright- 
I’m downwind and tacking- almost out of sight! 
I’ll dump all the cargo I have in the hold, 
Treading deep water- carefree and bold! 

 When I sail out with a fresh wind blowing- 
May God take note that I am going… 
And hold the compass and charter the sea, 
While I sail for the harbor intended for me!
