The Bay of The Awaited

 Will you sail with me

For the journey that’s ahead?

I set sail a long time ago

But I’ll pull you in

On this voyage to

The Bay of the Awaited

Some destinations will await

Before the last and final one

A lot of this journey is planned for

But so many courses are unchartered

And I need an explorer, a compass bearer

Will you be that for me? 

You know what awaits

Some strong tides

Some kind winds

A few hardy storms

A million wondrous sights

Thousands of sunrises 

Bringing promises of tomorrow

And thousands of sunsets

Setting down all past

There shall be seasons of joy

And of gloom, some of impending doom

Some seasons when it may all seem

To wreck and fall apart

I can ensure we sail through

I promise to be

the anchor, the sail,

the captain, the help,

the chef, the medic

the friend, the confidante

Everything you can need

And then some more

Maybe on some days

You can be that too

Do you have what it takes

To embark on this voyage

To the Bay of the Awaited?

A loving smile, a penny for a rainy day?

A brave head and a kind heart?

Also some gumption

And patience for the family?

Come over then, for I am ready

Let’s sail off into the sunset

Into the Bay of the Awaited
