I got your picture in my cabin your smiling face is everywhere your ghost is what I sail on through the ocean of your hair and my work it takes me everywhere and nowhere fast and slow
it takes a man to plough an acre it takes a woman to make it grow
the sea elevates my singing despite my ungrateful tone my thoughts are made of music my thoughts are mine alone then you wander warm inside my mind like a gift from god to me
it takes a man to bring his story it takes a woman to set him fee
girl we never did much talking and when we did it was so brief we laughed about eachother and we smiled through pain and grief you made the mundane magic and you fought hard for your dream
it takes a man to set a plough right it takes a woman to hitch a team
there's an empty chair that held you a rare creature tall and true if life has taught me one thing Ive learned it all from you and you laughed at my cowboy movies as I turned into my old man
it takes a man to work his heart out it takes a woman to give a damn
Mmmm ... awww ... My mouth was Hanging open in awww Lucky to not catch flys haha That took my breath away Romantic This man loves women Respects them & Knows It takes both a man & a woman To make it work Like behind every good man Is a good woman Who has his back! Rachael_0622

Hi Rachel,
Thanks for taking the time to read it, and the great comment.
I hope you are keeping safe and well in that special land you live on.
Hi, yachtsman_7, your ghost is what I sail on through the ocean of your hair I enjoyed this poem’s 6-line-stanza-coupled-with-2-line-refrain format. This poem, as do others of yours, delivers imagery and emotion in a poetic vessel that I and perhaps others wish we could build and sail as well as you; but, alas, your style is uniquely yours. Thank you for continuing to share your gifts of poetry with Poet’s Corner.
