Long ago what happened was meant to be
A sailor returned from the open sea
The old sailor was finally salt free
He did his time on the ocean blue
He was a patriot through and through
But he longed for something new
He planned out what he wanted to do
He was determined to see it through
But dreams do not always come true
He set his course in a different direction
Hoping he made the proper selection
As always he sought perfection
But setting one's sights too high
Is often a course bound to go awry
Reality is rarely found in blue sky
The old sailor tried and tried
But eventually his dreams died
At times the old sailor was fit to be tied
The old sailor is still alive today
His dreams died but never faded away
His thoughts go there every day
He drinks his beer and swallows his pride
Baring his soul with nothing left to hide
As Popeye once said,"I am what I am and that's all I am"
