| Port of Love My heart ship seeks the port of love Throughout the storm of tossing seas Sailing in a quest for shelter In search of love’s sweet gentle breeze. The ship is scarred, with tattered sails But keeps its course with strong conviction No barricade of time or tempest Will keep it from its destination Although the torrents pound the decks With terrifying risks to take The heart is strong and braves the storm A lonely soul knows what’s at stake The journey persists despite the danger All faith and hope within the sails Belief in finding love’s sweet haven Rejecting the prospect to ever fail And Lo, within the distant sight Perchance the harbor of journey’s end The long sought sweetness of love returned A time for lonely heart to mend.
