Sailing on Lake Erie

Watching the sailboat from the shoreWater cold and choppy, a good challengeThe waves cap, tossing a mist into the airThe sail billowing out to catch the wind Water cold and choppy, a good challengeThe sailor works quickly to control the boatThe sail billowing out to catch the windThat pushes the boat along the shoreline The sailor works quickly to control the boatTacking back and forth in the gusting windThat pushes the boat along the shorelineSteadily making progress to its destination Tacking back and forth in the gusting windBouncing gracefully from wave to waveSteadily making progress to its destinationI couldn’t begin to envy the sailor’s task Bouncing gracefully from wave to waveThe waves cap, tossing a mist into the airI couldn’t begin to envy the sailor’s taskWatching the sailboat from the shore
