Voyages and Adventures: Poems about the Lives of Sailors

The Sailor's Song
With the wind in his hair,
And the salt on his face,
The sailor sings his song,
As he sets the pace.

Through stormy seas and calm,
He guides his ship with grace,
With a heart full of courage,
And a smile on his face.

For the sailor, the sea is home,
Where he feels most alive,
With the waves as his symphony,
And the wind as his guide.

He'll sail through the night,
And into the dawn,
With the stars as his compass,
And the wind as his song.

The Sailor's Farewell
The sailor stands on the deck,
With a heart full of sorrow,
He looks to the horizon,
For one last tomorrow.

He's leaving the life he loves,
And all that he holds dear,
But he'll be back again,
With the next tide, my dear.

He'll sail the seven seas,
And see the world's wide expanse,
And when he comes back home,
He'll take you in his hands.

So dry your tears, my love,
And wave him on his way,
For the sailors will return,
On a bright and sunny day.

The Sailor's Dream
The sailor dreams of the sea,
With its endless blue expanse,
Of the wind in his sails,
And the salt on his hands.

He dreams of the storms,
And the rolling of the waves,
Of the thrill of adventure,
And the freedom it saves.

He dreams of the ports,
And the people he's met,
Of the stories he's heard,
And the secrets he's kept.

He dreams of returning home,
To the arms of his love,
And of sailing off again,
To the heavens above.

The Sailor's Lament
The sailor laments the sea,
With its endless depths unknown,
Of the wind in his sails,
And the sorrow in his bones.

He laments the storms,
And the crashing of the waves,
Of the loneliness of adventure,
And the freedom it craves.

He laments the ports,
And the people he's lost,
Of the stories he's missed,
And the secrets he's tossed.

He laments the leaving home,
To the arms of his love,
And of sailing off again,
To the heavens above.

: The Sailor's Return
The sailors returns to the sea,
With a heart full of longing,
He looks to the horizon,
For the next voyage starting.

He's returning to the life he loves,
And all that he holds dear,
With memories to cherish,
And the wind to hear.

He'll sail the seven seas,
And see the world's wide expanse,
And when he comes back home,
He'll tell you of his chance.

So welcome him back, my love,
With open arms and a smile,
For the sailors will always return,
After every mile.
