A Seafarer's Life Poem by Joey Infante
A Seafarer's Life
I venture the sea with a weary heart.
To leave my family is the hardest part.
Couldn’t hear my first born talk,
Couldn’t even see her walk.
Everyday I work every penny I could.
Everyday I wonder, “Is my family doing good? ”
My heart sinks as I remember them,
Hoping to be with them as they sleep and dream.
A long voyage before we reach the port,
With huge waves slamming us from starboard to port.
Navigating the vast and the tempest of the sea.
Its worst I experienced, its wonders I see.
A seafarers life, A life I have.
But despite the pain, the sea I love.
Despite the winds and the huge waves it carry,
I love this life and I will continue my journey.
