This is a short poem about spending time with my son on my new boat.

My dreams of the Red
and White Fishing Boat,
Have come to pass-
I purchased the Bay-Liner
for my son and I –
to catch some bass,
on a warm summer night.
Maybe we will keep sailing
till the early morning sunlight.
Sound the boat horn
and turn on the navy lights.
We will need something bright
to get us through the night.
Light gives way to darkness,
and sounds of marine life intensify.
Will teach my son how to tie flies,
as we motor through the night;
Say a prayer that we make it
to the morning light!
