Sail

Joshua Stone 1987 (Portsmouth, Virginia)



To the seas we sail,
To the ports we long for,
We have been seen wanting,
We do not give up,
We shall see once again a port of long missing,
Till then we keep sailing,
For fair winds and calm seas are what we hope to see,
Let us travel within his embrace and seek his guidance.
