Merchant ships come to the shore, <br />Sailors love and leave for the sea, <br />It does not matter where we make port, <br />only where, we call home. <br /> <br />The hearts we leave behind for water, <br />My love, stay faithful and be patient, <br />I never chose to sail away from you, <br />but sailors must do, what sailors must do. <br /> <br />I never did leave for the sea, <br />for a part of me is always with you, <br />It does not matter where I must go, <br />for I am always where I want to be, home.<br /><br />Rachel Henley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sailors-love/
