Description
In the salt-stained harbour, where the seagulls cry,
Stands an old sea-hardened fisherman, weathered and wise.
His face etched with stories of storms long past,
Of battles with the ocean, where time moves fast.
With hands like leather, worn from years at sea,
He casts his net with practiced ease, strong and free.
His eyes, deep and wise, hold the secrets of the deep,
As he navigates the waves, where mysteries sleep.
Through tempests and tides, he's sailed every shore,
From dawn's first light to the night's dark lore.
He's weathered the wrath of the ocean's fierce might,
Yet still he returns, drawn by its call in the night.
His voice carries echoes of a life well-lived,
Of adventures untold, of the risks he's braved.
He shares his tales with those who care to listen,
Of storms and sunsets, of trials and wisdom.
Though age may have weathered his once-sturdy frame,
His spirit remains untamed, a flame without blame.
For the sea is his mistress, his eternal love,
And he'll sail its waters, till the heavens above.
So here's to the old sea-hardened fisherman,
A legend of the ocean, a true gentleman.
May his stories live on, in the hearts of all,
As he sails into the sunset, standing tall. photoshop and AI work
