The boat
On a boat alone with the sea
the open vastness upon the expanse
No one else except for me
feeling full of love and romance
The waves are small
the wind blows soft
Not a squal
on the sea aloft
The salty smells
the beaming sun
The waving sails
seems like heaven
The birds all fly
and the fish do swim
They all go by
without a whim
I realize this is my love
this is my life
And from heaven above
I live with no strife
Just a man and his boat
living life with no worries
This place I am afloat
coasting along the gentle breeze
