....Old Reliable...

She's not as sleek as she used to be,
But still as reliable as can be.
All the new boats zipped by her,
Showing off for all to see.

She use to be the queen of the sea,
A refugee and a fortress for all in need.
We've been through storms typhoons and sunami's
Yet, she's as steady as a rock can be.

I treat her with honor, with respect, with favor
She's one of a kind to me.
All the new boats trying to catch mine eyes,
Are wasting their time on me.

I love her today, yesterday and the morrow,
For she's my heart and queen.
Sentiments and compliments,
Are values that hold her dear to me.

I look at her now, mooring outside
Steady as the rock she is.
Her gray paint flaking, her deck is creaking
As she danced in the wind and sea.

Old reliable will always be cherished
Like the woman god gave to me.
There's a place in mine heart, I'll always hold dear
She is the only one who holds the keys.

I could see her now flowing, her eyes are a glowing,
As she came down the stairs to me.
A smile on her lips like honey-comb drips
Enticing for me to see.

More preciouse then rubies, profitable than silver
Her returns more better than gold.
So noble a character and clothe with strength
She's my crown for all to see.

I'll cherish her forever, deny her never
She's more lovely than snow-white to me.
A gift like this, no one can resist,
She is Old Reliable to me.
