Final Voyage Poem by david holden

Daylight breaks over the eastern shore, our beloved Captain, sails once more.
With fairwinds and following seas, he sails his vessel into eternity, as his loved ones look out over an empty sea, his final voyage this will be.
He braved the storms and rains that blew, but through it all his smile and laughter shined through.
The tall tales and stories will always remain, and we will retell them all to help ease the pain.
Although his voyage has come to an end, the pain of his passing will always remain.
So through our sorrow and tear filled eyes, we turn our stares unto the sky.
We asked the Father in all His Glory, to prepare a place for our captain after his long, hard journey.
So rest easy now captain your watch is done, you can tell your tall tales to the Father and Son, and know that here on earth, you'll be missed by all your loved ones.
