His poem (remember the ship) Can be interpreted in many ways. I have chosen to do it on my way how I think it means.

The poem can be interpreted in many ways. I have chosen to interpret it in the way I understand the poem. As I read the poem, it is about traveling into the world with love for your mother tongue and remembering who you are in the big world. Its starts by writing about remembering the English language and remembering to be part of citizenship. Here, he speak of the ship as a metaphor. I think the ship is a metaphor for your origin and heritage. He writes, “for language is the baggage we bring,” indicating that no matter where we go in the world, we always carry our language with us, wherever time take us in the world. He writes about “Love’s anchor waiting to be cast” signifying that we throw our love anchor out into distant waters but still carry our language and origin with us in our luggage, understanding the world with our own eyes.
