“SAILING”
By Linda Halsey Bonadies
Daddy was a sailing man, sailing on the sea
Mom was his perfect wind, his wind was she
Steady and strong, always right at his side
When things were wrong
She moved him along
oh he’d be lost without her
Mom was a summer wind blowing on the sea
And when she found her perfect ship, it was Daddy
She found a home in the warmth of his sails
Never alone
Since him she had known
Oh She’d be lost without him there
‘Cause when he raised his sails up to the sky
They looked like arms so open wide
Hold mom close he never failed
And she would always fill his sails
A team they were as one there purpose was the same
Keep sailing with the sun and even through the rain
So when the clouds rolled in and there were stormy skies
A glimpse of sun they’d see looking in each other’s eyes
When currents were all wrong and seas began to rise
They said “Hold on and don’t let go, we can make it if we try.”
So Daddy raised his sails up to the sky
They looked like arms so open wide
Hold mom close he never failed
And she would always fill his sails
Sailing forever bound giving what the other needs
True love is what they found so much to receive
It’s plain to see after all of these years
Forever they’ll be together at sea
And you can still see Daddy
Raise his sails up to the sky
They look like arms so open wide
Hold mom close he never failed
And she was still his wind
Together they would move ahead
When one was weak the other led
I guess I’ve heard it said
That’s how it is with love
Daddy raised his sails up to the sky
They looked like arms so open wide
Hold mom close he never failed
And she’s still the wind that fills his sails
