Yesterday we found Webster’s clothes
He just turned 90 everyone knows
This man of power, now diminished
Was here to start where most men finish.
He sat each day on the starboard side
Wind, sun, and rain upon his face.
He held the wheel and stood with pride
And sailed with us on The Great Schooner Race.
From Baltimore to Portsmouth, V.A.
Webster same up on deck each day
His faithful daughter by his side
To experience this salty ride.
No “bucket list” for Webster. Please.
This seasoned man with a gentle heart
This was not the last of his adventures
But one he called “A real good start!”
