Set Sail For Memories Poem by Dyhanara Rios

How could I have known that you
Could change my life forever?
I set sail to sea, but I pulled off course
When I thought I saw golden treasure.

I lost control, the ship crashed,
And dear Lord, I’m sinking fast
I guess this wasn’t my lucky day.
Oh, the water’s much too shallow-
I’m drowning in the shadows now
As the ship goes down, down, down.

Alone and full of woe, it got so cold
As I was searching the seas for gold.
Will you hold my hand and rescue me?
Will you save me from drowning in this sea?

You pulled me out of the sea somehow.
I have no doubt; I love you now.

You saved me when I was almost lost at sea,
And you shared endless amounts of treasure.
(Our memories are gold – no, priceless to me,
And talking with you is always a pleasure)
How could I have known that you
Could change my life forever?
