About the Poem

My Island, Adrienne
by Paul Hoekman
Like a ship
without a sail,
with no rudder at the tail,
adrift within a storm
of life confusions,
I was beached upon a shore
no chart had ever shown before,
when I jumped onto the sand
I knew I found an island,
my island, Adrienne.

I work the land from Monday
until we sail the boat on Sunday,
to places on Long Island,
From Guilford to Duck Island,
where time passes quickly,
like the breeze across the bow,
and I'm safe within the shelter,
my island, Adrienne.

Now I love the life I'm living
and all that God has given
the earth, sea and sky
and this good woman by my side.

My wife you see is everything to me
I love her more each day,
she helps me see the way,
and we somehow seem to be
best friends and now a family.

So we'll blow with the breezes,
and God bless Adrienne when she sneezes,
working together against life tides,
we'll tack together side by side,
through storms, doldrums and jives,
our love forever will survive.
You are my island, Adrienne.
