A boy and his dad on a fishing-trip—
Builders of life’s companionship!
Oh, I envy them, as I see them there
Under the sky in the open air,
For out of the old, old long-ago
Come the summer days that I used to know,
When I learned life’s truths from my father’s lips
As I shared the joy of his fishing-trips.

From: A Boy and His Dad by Edgar Guest

 Has man dared woman and woman lured man
To that sweet danger that lurks and lies
In the bloodless battle of eyes with eyes;
That reckless danger, as vast as sweet,
Whose bitter ending is joy’s defeat.
Ah! thus forever, while time shall last,
On passion’s altar must hearts be cast!

From: Sweet Danger by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Now to her berth, the ship draws nigh:
We shorten sail, – she feels the tide, -
‘Stand clear the cable’ is the cry, -
The anchor’s gone; we safely ride.
The watch is set, and through the night
We hear the seamen with delight
Proclaim, – ‘ All’s well! ‘

From: For England When With Favoring Gale by Charles Dibdin

When it gets too rough
out at sea
and I start to drown,
the water attempting to swallow me,
you are my rescuer.
My lifeboat.
You pull me aboard into
your warm embrace
and save me from
the turbulent emotions
of my inner ocean.

February Evening by midlander1231

I longed to view that bliss divine
Which eye hath never seen,
To see the glories of his face
Without the veil between.

The world has sown it’s flowers so long ago
The soil remained dry but with time they began to grow
Dormant for eons the earth shall break
After all freedom was is at stake
As water wears away all within it’s path
The rock of fear crumbles and left in the past
