Ode To My White Hat

When first we met, I looked at you
Shinny, white, and like me brand new
We traveled together on voyages through
The Good and the Bad Oceans of Blue

Though stained now and yellow
And bitter of salt
We end our beginning
Our companionship halts

I will never forget the times we have shared
and in my reflection I’ll no longer see
You donning my hair, so
Fair Winds and Following Seas


©2002 Mark C. Carroll

A simple poem to say Goodbye to a Sailor's Dixie Cup
