I guess I will be the first to post in this new forum. I know what you all are thinking, "A SWAT guy that does poetry". Yes, I dabble a little in poetry. It is not that good, but my friends tell me they enjoy it. (Maybe they are lying to me) Anyway, this poem I wrote for my wife (baitedstorm). I hope you all enjoy it. If you don't, don't tell me.....:lol2:
[c]Professional Diver[/c]
[c]I gather my tea and gear,[/c]
[c]Make my toast and leave from here,[/c]
[c]I see others going to their jobs,[/c]
[c]They look at me as if Im a slob,[/c]
[c]They see my clothes and think I should get a life,[/c]
[c]But the boredom they suffer you could cut with a knife.[/c]
[c]Theyre heading to their small office space,[/c]
[c]Looking for the dollar I care not to chase,[/c]
[c]They are wearing their nicely pressed suits and ties,[/c]
[c]Im heading to my office which flows with the tides,[/c]
[c]My suit is one they only wear on vacation,[/c]
[c]The one they wait for all year in anticipation,[/c]
[c]My job is their vacation in the sun,[/c]
[c]They come to my office for their fun,[/c]
[c]The ones who thought I was a slob,[/c]
[c]Are now looking at me while they sob,[/c]
[c]They now realize my job I truly love,[/c]
[c]And how my heart is free like a dove,[/c]
[c]They ask if I have a degree,[/c]
[c]I say yes its the sea,[/c]
[c]The ones who criticize my choices,[/c]
[c]Do not know the sea and its voices,[/c]
[c]When their vacation is over and done,[/c]
[c]They head back to their life without the fun,[/c]
[c]They only spent a week or so with me,[/c]
[c]But they now miss what they cant see,[/c]
[c]Others work in their jobs or professions,[/c]
[c]My job I love for its all my passions,[/c]
[c]Their job may be important to some,[/c]
[c]But my job is important for their fun,[/c]
[c]The short time with me they spend they some to see,[/c]
[c]My job as a Professional Diver they now wish to be. [/c]
I hope you enjoyed it.
