Leaning on the ships railings gazing out to sea became one of my favourite pastimes on board ship. The vast stretches of ocean fascinated me. I was always intrigued at the way the sea changed colour. Maybe being born a Pisces has something to do with that. Combine this with the fact that I was born and grew up in a city that was once the busiest passenger port in the UK.
Mind you neither of these reasons prevented me from suffering from sea sickness, something that never improved in all my thirty years of cruising.

SEA LIFE

​

When I'm on a ship far out at sea

There's no other place that I'd rather be

 

Watching the water slip gently by

It's changing colour reflecting the sky

 

Bright emerald green and dark navy blue

Turquoise and slate grey flow beneath you

 

Sometimes smooth like a mill pond of glass

Then swells of angry white horses rush past

 

The waves rise and fall with thunderous might

Whilst you gaze for hours with nothing in sight

 

Then suddenly see a Whale's water spout

Or a pod of Dolphins diving in and out

 

With that happy looking grin on their face

They swim abreast of the ship as though in a race

 

If they could talk I am sure they would say

You are welcome humans to join in our play

 

Come share our seas we have oceans to spare 

But we don't want your rubbish left here

 

Plastic bags, empty bottles oil and grease

Dispose of on land, leave our world in peace

 

Don't dump them here, to harm creatures like we 

Who live simply to swim play and be free.
