0 Guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Bow Bow, and you were right! As a Captain leads his ships, so do I lead the way. (of the stern, port, and starboard and bow, the Bow is the front of the ship) By humbling myself before you, respect do I pay. (In many parts of the world you pay respect by bowing before others, not by shaking hands) I was there before bullets, and bombs in the air, (bows and arrows were the projectile weapons of warfare before modern arms) I am there when little girls put ribbons in their hair. (she ties it into a bow) what did you think of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
