Love on Calm Seas, Boys on the Breeze

How far should we go for love? How far can love take us? In a few words, little Nat could say, with his honey-sweet laugh, little Teddy could tell: From sea to shining sea! From Florida to California. From deck to top-sail, bow to stern! From being UM college sweethearts to nuptials—white dresses, rings, friends—to honeymoon, to home Mom says you boys are sweet and smart and friendly and calm, tells me you boys will grow strong at the helm of mighty sail-boats racing the seagulls on salty sprays, flying swelling growing aloft with the laughing winds in your sails! I don't know all, but I can tell you young cosmopolitan sirs, you young skippers, this: you boys are blessed by two parents who love each other and love you, and you will live a charmed life guided by stars that align for you —and this poet wishes you every good thing and blessing under the shining sun! all the best
