Sail
Never have such a bad day
That you fail to look up
In a May afternoon
At the sky
Or smell and feel the air
That lifts your soul
Don’t ever sit at home
At dusk
With the moonlight
So close
And the stars
And so much greater
Than you and I
This old mystery
We are all blessed in our life
Our view
Our way
Yet under the same
Sacred sun and stars and moon.
There are many ways across the oceans
Many ships and prevails
Don’t stop at the shore
Don’t ever give up the search
Sail.
— Neil Frederick, Brown County
