Fare-Thee-Well Fond Sailor ~*Marge Tindal*~ Fare-thee-well fond sailor Fare-thee-well, I say Your ship of fools has set sail Out across the bay Hearts shattered, bobbing in the surf Hoping for the catch-of-the-day Fare-thee-well fond sailor You've up and sailed away Cast-off hearts on the island shore Left to cry the day Fare-thee-well fond sailor Hope you'll return my way On a new journey you embark As you sail across the sea Beware to hearts on other sleeves Who wait to catch your leave Should all the waves of heartbreak Break upon my shore I'll be waiting on the tides return To net your heart once more ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge, with you on shore, any sailor worth his salt should be back in no time... This is very cute indeed...   |

Marge, this sounds like a faire thee, very well done. Kethry  "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
