THE SHIP O' DREAMS by FRANCES EVERTSON

First Line: IF ALL OUR THOUGHTS WERE SILVER
Last Line: AND TRUE DREAMS WORTH MORE THAN GOLD.
Subject(s): SAILING & SAILORS; SHIPS & SHIPPING; SEAMEN; SAILS;
If all our thoughts were silver
And all our dreams were gold,
The wealth would be far greater
Than phantom ships could hold.

The treasure ship o' dreams
Sails out beyond the bar
With faith the brave, good pilot
And hope the guiding star.

No fear of rocks or danger
As fancy wanders free.
Thoughts are jolly sailors
Traveling many a distant sea.

As it sails into Life's last harbor,
May the ship o' dreams so bold,
Store memories bright as silver
And true dreams worth more than gold.
