Dedicated to
Arthur C. Ford, Jr.
I sailed out to conquer life
And knew the tides would rise,
I learned life was made of strife
As mother preached so wise
I have traveled pass to port
I have jewelry fine,
I have sat with kings and courts
And kissed her highness wine
I have danced, romanced for days
And still I paid my dues,
And mysteries were just a phase
I found resolving clues
I have answered prayers at times
As favors were fulfilled,
I've digested eternal rhymes
Now poems of thought are milled
But yet, I had let love depart
And life I had not won,
Until the Creator, who’s in my heart
Gave to me My Son
