Safe Harbor

 

Setting sail for life

With expectations and dreams

Together at the wheel

Steering toward the sun

 

The voyage is tricky

You navigate your way

Some sail smoothly

Others are buffeted by the waves

 

It’s slow to develop

The thickening clouds

The swells and the waves

Crashing over the bow

 

As the storm becomes angry

And tosses you about

You hold on for your safety

But your ship is in doubt

 

When the storm has passed

And you regain the light

You find a safe harbor

And moor for the night

 

You’re never the same

After seeing the storm

You have a connection

But not one that’s strong

 

Some stay with their wreckage

Some swim away

But each sunrise brings hope

Of a special new day
