                   My Captain, you are the leader in my life
           You make my words have reason and give them light
                       When you take a step I walk in pace
            For without your guidance this would not be my fate
      My Captain, you take little credit of which you deserve more
              Full of courage and kindness for all of us to adore
                      Vast like a mountain range I always see
    With the advice you give me when no one else would believe
            My Captain, how can't you see what you have done
              I could write a poem comparing you to the sun
    How your sarcastic rants inspire such, none could compare
    When your soothing voice leaves your mouth it flows like air
            My Captain, you don't see how much I've heard
Because Oh Captain, My Captain you give meaning to my words

           "Oh Captain My Captain" is a poem by Walt Whitman
