LIKE A SHIP

Poem logo

Like a ship l lay in the harbor

Serena and abandoned, wandering who will come to me

Then when all hopes were almost lost

There came a pirate

Who bore no suspicious at all of his calling

And me too glad to see someone at last

With all my heart smiled I him

But I soon found that the pirate

Who bore no suspicious of his calling

Like every one on earth had his defect

Though good of heart,he was not the good passenger,

Though the good passenger, he was not good at heart

So with conflict I had to wait for another passenger

But who knows whether he will be worse

So I tread life’s way in ingnorance and in joy

I go my daily way not caring to remember yesterday

For it will only bring me memories of sorrows

But then our yesterday regret may turn into tomorrow’s joy
