Sinking Ship

CATEGORY

 You can't save a sinking ship

it must make its course, complete its trip.

You have done all you can to keep it a float

offer to carry baggage, pull in some totes.

The anchor it broke, the chains they cracked

this beautiful vessel is taking on slack.

It was meant to achieve greatness, to see all it could see

but alas the cold waters caused it to crumble and cease.

I watched this vessel slowly sink and disappear

I fought the urge to cry, held back the burning tears.

I remembered it for the magnificence it once was

all the memories it held, all the goodness it does.

You can't bring back something that is now out of sight

Just remember it for what it is and that you were willing to fight.

 

~ If someone doesn't appreciate your efforts, 

stop trying to please them. If they don't appreciate you,

they don't deserve you.~
