The world outside beckons, I hear the sea’s calls.
\nTo be true to my heart I must answer them all.
\nI must follow the trade winds on the seas high,
\nBut the hardest thing my friend, is saying goodbye.<\/p>\n

And travel is something I feel I must do,
\nSo if my travels don’t return me to you,
\nOr if when I’m gong something in your life’s not there
\nThat something I’ll have, and treasure, so please don’t despair.<\/p>\n

Only three things I’ll ask of you before we part;
\nThe first is a corner for me in your heart
\nAnd next a thought of me in each passing day,
\nAnd last, a prayer for me whenever you pray.<\/p>\n

So goodbye, my friend, though friendship’s chains
\nShall hold us fast until we meet again,
\nAnd over all the leagues of land and sea
\nMy thoughts will pass to you, and yours to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
