Aroun’ th’ point an’
beyon’ th’ breaks,
mindful o’ th’ corals an’ th’ rips,
stay above th’ sandy shoals,
th’ weary lads mus’ tack.
Intae th’ win’ an’ intae th’ bay,
Then drop th’ ankor stone.
Find sweet water flowing
An’ fill them empty tuns.
Scrape th’ hulls.
Seal with oakum.
Seek fur food, be it fish o’ fowl.
Mak’ trade.
Mak’ peace wit’ th’ locals.
Make ready to sail.
Seek fur th’ city o’ gold.

About jedwardnajera
I am an artist and a Poet. I live the life of a poet. I published several novels. Nena the Fairy and the Iron Rose, Dust of the Moon are among them, available through Amazon Books. I have spent over thirty five years in a classroom. I am now retired from that profession.
My father kept a living record of his lifetime as he lived through the Twentieth Century. He was born in 1908 and almost lived long enough to see us enter the new millennium.
He entrusted to me nearly 400 pages that he wrote through the years.
Now I am continuing the tradition by posting my own stories and misadventures.
I am trying to post a new entry or chapter each Friday. Check in on us at least once a week for the latest post.
