For my darling brave friend Lindy, who tragically lost her husband - my shipmate Malcy, when he was killed by pirates in Thailand. We paid the ferryman with a silver coin on his coffin and he is free now to sail forever. <br /> <br /> <br />In the hopeful seconds of dawn <br />and In the dazzle of sunlight on water <br />I see you <br /> <br />In the gentlest of zephyrs <br />and in the most thunderous storm <br />I hear your voice <br /> <br />In the warmth of my bed <br />And in all that touches me <br />I feel you <br /> <br />In the smiles of our children <br />And in the smiles of their children too <br />We know you <br /> <br />And In my mind <br />I will hold on <br />to your starlit hand <br />And we shall sail forever<br /><br />Sailing to windward<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forever-sailing/
