She sailed in...

 

She sailed into view

almost appeared in a way

an arrival expected but

a sight for sore eyes

A blue sky mirrored

an ocean of azure

Seagulls circled the vessel

with a chorus of cries

She was dignified

not some cruise ship

with cabins piled high

but an old styled Ocean Liner

with dignity and grace

From her funnels she sounded her sirens

two tug boats were in attendance

liberty boats now on their way

People on deck and on shore

waving hands and handkerchiefs

A gloriously unforgettable moment

a home coming so befitting

so traditional as to meet 

all expectations and arrivals
