I tow my boat of a new beginning
The faces past me kind and forgiving —
The mistakes and hardships that have come to pass
An ephemeral thing of the past
“For there is a fleet that sails the seas
Their flag emblazoned with stars in the breeze
Where noble men and women seek to teach
Each child and student regardless of creed”
My lonely boat that I had once towed
Had joined this group, timidly so
To find love, and love abounds
Where the guiding hand lay fear unwound
And now I leave on my new journey
Wandering to wherever the sea takes me
But I look one last time towards this fledgling fleet
Tear-laden, and heart concrete
“You have given me love, and from love, victory.”
