Little tug boat

(To Leo)

As I watch the deep green waters looking at my reflection under the sun,

I think of what I have been to you..

Just like the little tug boat slowly pulls the tanker into port,

I guided you out of your sorrows..

I knew, I was only a rescuer needed when you lost your way..

and gladly helped you guiding you back home

Now that my work is done, I am like the little tug boat alone in a non special part of the port without any credit or celebration for all the hard work done, only he and I know...

that without our strength and guidance the tanker and you, would have crashed against the rocks...

So I wave good bye to him ..and to you
