Sailed With Love
Oh, the way to fill the sails, with long and lasting gusts
love is the awesome energy of things lasting.
Oh the rush of the waves, with crashing swells
love is the quiet strength of heartfelt endurance.
Long are the shadows cast by the moon o'er the seas,
love is the light inside the throbbing soul.
Rocky is the coastline as we draw near to shore
love has moments of conflict that are like hot coal.
The ropes tie the ship to dock in the harbor
love that's true will hold on til all else has failed.
Make the journey, don't just start the journey,
love can float, can be submerged, but rises quickly again.
Hold on to the chart and the wheel, alert you must stay
love finds the way, simple and profound, it won't die away.
Sailing through the mist of dawn, winds on the sails
love is alive, flows through and follows life's deepest oceans.
Moving on, never stopping, facing the stormy skies
love given and then returned, continues on and on.

Sail Away With Love ~
If life had not love then where would I be?
A ship tossed and driven upon listless seas.
If love showed no kindness and darkness prevailed,
what light would shine so searching eyes could see?
If love didn’t speak with a voice very plain,
all words ever spoken would be dark and lonely, bitter and bleak!
If love couldn’t listen with both ears in tune,
to all of the questions, to every need, or to the beat of the heart?
How would one know and be aware that someone really cares?
The joy felt when moved to share, or maybe just to know that all is well?
Love can see past every flaw, bring kindness to every soul,
speak powerful words to drive away fear;
It can listen to our every need and bring life and peace:
The ship that I sail always shall be sailed with love!
