An Adventure of a Lifetime

You sank in the salty sea,
as you sailed all that way to me.

I found you on a shore,
and at that point I knew you were something more.

You’re good,
even though you’re a piece of wood.

Your indents look like an air vent,
you’re a little bit bent,

but you put up a fight,
and that’s why you were sent. Right?
