A Quote by unknown on caring, friendship, home, and questions

There are many who wait for their ships to come in, For their ships to come in from the sea. This question they ask as they watch and wait: "Will a ship come home to me?" The answer comes swift from a voyager old, A voyager weathered and gray: "Have you sent forth a craft with a cargo, friend? A craft that might some in today?" There are many who long for their ships to come in, That they from their cares may be free; But how could a ship come home to them When they've sent no craft to sea?
