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
