When before he looked so lost
A child with much potential
had his ship of life so tossed
He couldn't regain direction
his navigator was a peer
and with every suggestion given
he'd forget just how to steer
This ship named "my life"
was headed for the rocks.
So I jumped aboard and took control
to guide him to the docks.
I shared with him instruction
from a weathered Captain Me
and told him just how crucial
it was to know the sea.
The sea of life can toss you
and sink you if you drift
so take my words and listen
and accept them as my gift
I'm not the greatest captain
or sailor, this is true
but you must take your sailing serious
or this ship will sink with you
He listened and he learned
He took each word in stride
and when the boat left the harbor
he proved that he could ride
The waves that crashed the bow
the ones that left the stern
The wake he left behind him
proved to me that he had learned.
I hope my son does well
as he sails upon this sea
and when he come to port
He'll say he learned from me.
Thanks to my boy who runs a tight ship today.
