My Direction

Upon a ship I sailed to sea No compass there to point I left a boy, became a man A lifetime there, anoint Waves were harsh and wind so cold But, I fought and persevered My sailing vessel and myself Though tattered, were still steered Direction, then, became my goal Pointed ways fell from the sky As stars at night became my friends Instead of leaving me to die. Here I am now, to tell my tale Of my days, there, lost at sea But, as with all, there is hope And faith remains with me Fear not your days when set adrift Fear not, ever, days alone Believe in you and all you are The brightest star that’s ever shone.
