Sails UP!

Rising in the morning
to greet the Sun and sea,
we plan on leaving the dock
at quarter to three.

Me and my cousins
gather our things,
we need on the boat
like candy bars and caffeine!

My Dad gathered the towels
the cooler and cheese,
lots of cheese & crackers
in case we run out of breeze.

We run down the dock
to the sailboat we flee,
where the sea gulls caw
the Sun shines in the breeze.

We set sail at three
our boat toward sea,
around Shackleford Banks
to the lighthouse in the East.

We sail past Shackleford
Spanish horses roam free,
from shipwrecks of old
Atlantic graveyard of the sea.

As the Sun begins to set
the breeze full and free,
fills our spinnaker
flying our colors out at sea.
