Columbus

Columbus

Ships sailed into the bay today

Like Columbus did so yesterday

The sun shined forth with warm brush ray

O herald the sojourn on pilgrim path way

The Blue Jets flew rush wind overhead

With noise so wide it would waken the dead

People gathered to gaze at light evening star

To watch tall ships sail from near and afar

I sat and watched as visitor do

With sun blaze overhead in sunshine blue

Like Columbus who travelled through oceans and land

We travel long distance and what did we find?

I sailed here today on the back of a whale

As I returned with my stories, wonders and tale

Of the ships and the bay, so wide and so blue

Of gates that are golden and always anew

My ships do not battle or travel too far

My Blue Jets are silent and never at war

The people who gather are one of one mind

That peace in our world is ever to find

Columbus set sail and follow the stars

Set our course for a world that will never know war

Let weary and wounded and broken things mend

And ever and always let war come to an end
