A true pilgrim
A bairn of seventeen
barely wet behind the ears
sailed from his beloved
a better life to glean
a cooper by trade and

Carrying his kelpie to
pass for generations to come,
memories sleep in deep waters
to be awakened by
children of tomorrow.

Remember, this is useful pain, lightning illuminates. Memories sleep in deep waters to be awakened by the children of tomorrow.
