Captain, My Captain Tribute to My Captain

Captain My Captain to another world of feng-shui you were taken given no choice in the matter leaving those you loved who love you behind you were the one person who believed in me when I didn’t in myself Your love I cherished pride a standing ovation to know a grand-dee with such grand-eur Here I am a different day different time proud of me I hope you would be of me trying to beat the geomancy from the teachings you gave to me of divination to be the best Captain I could be Remembering the day your crew became my mates the day becoming my crew giving me the Salute from Captain to Captain passing the knowledge of team work the strength to sail whether it be smooth or trying to keep afloat when gale came barging through the door the words I will always recall they still are with me and when I felt I’ve forgotten the days I feel I can’t go on Remembering the words you once told me when you’re gone you won’t be really if I listen to the winds of the sea your ghost whispers of wisdom still whispering strong from the feng-shui chosen for you Assuring me there is no other life than being a ghost sailor whispering across the sea I know if it were left up to you; you’d still be here showing off your expertise telling me to keep my head up to step right up there is no place to drown my thoughts no room for pity reminding me to lay my burdens down underneath the sea Captain, My Captain strong you still tell me I am, to be the best captain I can be, I miss you I always will but with your strength of encouragement still being given to me from your ghost whispering across the sea I salute you still my Captain from Captain I know you’re still sailing the seas waiting for us to set sail to listen to the ghost whispers still passing on history from ghost past of grand duers’ of grand-dees Written January 14th, 2002 © on Jan 14 2002 12:00 PM PST   0 • 10
