The Love Boat
The Love boat
Love is such a tossed about word
‘I love you’ we say
But often we neglect to see
We have forgotten to truly care
A rough word written or spoken
Can often break a heart
Have we become so calloused
Like the barnacled hull of a ship
Desensitized to understand
It’s the little things that cause us
A smooth or a rough sail
Or a total wreck
Maybe to have a scrapping down
We’ll sail smoother
On our great ocean voyage
Even when the waves swell
And almost swallow us whole
If we are smoother bottomed
Our stormy ride will not leave us
Quite the shipwreck
