The tie is in There are several ferries Standing still here I think of grandpa And how much He would've loved this
I think of all The sunny after noons I sat here with Esther Before she got cancer At the age of 17 Survived it, she did But she never laughed Like she used to
The platform is up As tie comes in The water covers The words spelled out Across the stream At low tie, it would say "Love"
Here we sat And cried our Youthfull tears away Boys are still mean But we're better equipped And they're smarter too Somewhat kinder And we're milder
A smile of understanding Appears as I watch Flandria1 struggling As the boy tries to dock it here It's not that easy To move a vessel
A black bag floats by And I wonder What will it learn Where is it's destination And silently hope That the city will scoop It all out...
