Dream Boat
(To Lynda, as I promised to write her a poem, as she left Malaya for Sabah)
-
Life is like a dream boat
Floating, drifting
In the endless sea of time
Challenged by weather
Battled by storms
It moves on, changeable but sublime
To distant ports and oceans
Far, far away it roams
Sail on, dream boat, sail on
With determination
Cheers and hopes
You'll one day find your home
It's not a boat of oars and sails
But a boat of hopes and dreams
Of dreams and hopes come true
And a voyage of hardship and struggles
Romance and adventures
A voyage rough but beautiful
To live in dreams and hopes
Is to live in illusions
Yet, it's beautiful
And the boat is not of empty dreams
But real, attainable dreams
And dreams, with hopes,
The force that drives the boat
Make life rich
Rewarding and meaningful
26th April 1969, Dungun
