As salt of the Sea I shall return
out on the waters I long, I yearn.
When life grows hard and toss n' turns
dreams of wander seem to churn.

For in these bones salt will live
and tales of days at sea outlive .
At helm again, my boy please know
not far in my heart it's you I stow.

As I grow old and soon may die
the sea beckons salt from my eye.
A life I've lived of lust and wander
my heart yearns for more to ponder.

How much I've missed in life to date
out at sea for storms I'd navigate
Be true to you heart for which it call
for true love rings different for all.

Stay Saltly,
