The Brave and the Bold

By Sean Mc Shane


The Brave and the Bold
like the ship Captains of Old

Sailing into the Great Unknown
where the maps have shown
" Dragons Be Here "
still feeling no fear

of falling off into sheer Nothingness
I'll sing my prayers and hope God will bless

as I boldly go
where everyone has gone before
and everyone eventually will
wondering what lies in store

with no hesitation
or even a care
as long as something
pushes me there

where no one has returned
unless a spirit or a ghost
I'll remember the fairy tales
I wish to believe the most

for I am the Captain of this vessel
as well as it's gallant crew
so I will make a toast to the Known
now, farewell and ado . . .
