My  brother David asked me to post this for my dad. One of his favorite  
poems!

I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads  her white sails to the morning breeze 
and starts for the blue ocean.  
... She  is an object of beauty and strength, 
and I stand and watch until at last  she hangs 
like a speck of white cloud 
just where the sea and sky come  down to mingle with each other. 
Then someone at my side says, 
" There  she goes! " 
Gone where? 
Gone from my sight . . . that is all. 
She  is just as large in mast and hull and spar 
as she was when she left my  side 
and just as able to bear her load of living freight 
to the place  of destination. 
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. 
And just at  the moment 
when someone at my side says, 
" There she goes! " 
there  are other eyes watching her coming . . . 
and other voices ready to take up  the glad shout . . . 
" Here she comes! "— with _Hellodave Oc_
