The Fatigued Sailor

Hold me for an instant
Like an infant
In your arms
Pass me your charms
Teach me your name
Let me feel this holy flame
I am the fatigued sailor
Who reached your harbor
Through the waves of fate
I know I am late
But I need you to take me
Hug me
And let me rest
On your chest
Teach me
How to live and stand
How to talk and walk
In your land
So God may keep us
And protect
