Sarah Perfect Pirate Princess Poem by Bryan Norton

Sarah perfect pirate Princess
Welcome to your shipboard home
Papa pirate holds and keeps you
Safely through the tidal foam

Mama pirate loves you dearly
But she died from giving birth
Tenderly she held and named you
Sarah, Princess of the Earth

Baby girl, like your mother
With your hair of golden silk
All I have is love to give you
And a little bit of milk

You have plundered something in me
When you came and stole my heart
Don't you know that you're my treasure
Only you can play that part

Sarah, Princess, dawn is rising
Dolphins ring our pirate ship
Whales basking in the wonder
Of a baby on our trip

All my mates are gathered ‘round us
Speaking words like coochy-coo
Never having seen a princess
Yet, they're so in love with you

Sarah, darling, precious angel
Brighter than the stars above
May thy fortune keep you ever
With the people who you love

Though the land may often tempt you
And the port may call your name
Don't forget the ones who love you
As you navigate your fame

Sarah, Princess, pirate's fortune
Is the purpose of our strife
You don't need to seek your portion
Just to seek a better life

You are mine to love completely
Calling me with upturned eyes
You're the flow of life within me
You're the show of my surprise

Sarah, Princess, Neptune's daughter
Darling of the salty sea
May you learn to love the water
As you rule in majesty

When my sight is growing dimmer
And my sword is cast aside
Sarah, darling, my sweet Princess
May thy love for me abide!
