A little boat

I'm on a little boat
Which was never meant to set sail.
I'm on a little boat,
It is anchored by the bay.
I'm on a little boat
From where I greet you every day.
I'm on a little boat
But the anchor won't hold.
I'm on a little boat
And I'm letting go of the dock.
I'm on a little boat,
From which hangs a rope,
Which, if you wanted
You could hold.
I'm on a little boat,
I'm sailing away.
I'm not even aware,
But I'm sailing away.
Will you be even aware
If I'm not here today?
Please, hold the rope
Before it's too late.
Before the wave comes
And takes me
On my little boat
Away.

I like the way you put "i'm on a little boat" after everything.

Really good imagery while remaining consistent with the rhyming pattern.
