Long Cane Adventures

With long cane in hand

I journey far and wide

Discovering wondrous lands

Or sweet singing tides

And as it sweeps along

I learn all my strengths

And if I go wrong

I follow friendly lengths

For people never mind

Always lending hands

And this faith I find

Is like a brass band

And this fuels my trips

To ever distant shores

For I know every ship

Has kindness in store.
