For a whole year, my son insisted he was a pirate.
He ran around with a plastic sword and pretended everything was a dang ship.
Still, I never cut off his leg, poked out his eye, and handed him a parrot.
Because I'm not delusional enough to believe everything children say.
“Many Rivers To Cross” by Jimmy Cliff accompanied by Jools Holland. RIP & thank you for the music and memories. 🎶🎵Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try🎶🎵
