A Word Or Two, Maybe More

What advice should I be giving?
Who am I to say anything?
I wish to convey a word or two, maybe more
As a result of what life gave me to export.

But advice I will not give you
Yet it is my mandate to share with you
Just a word or two, maybe more
For I am related to you by the love of the Lord.

How could I keep to myself His gifts
Especially those I received through hardship
Enriching me with a word or two, maybe more
Most because I met so many relatives along sea shores.

We all sail away across the seven seas
our journey through warm and cold streams
I know you too have a word or two, maybe more
To share sailing through high and low pressures encores.

Now do you see, this isn't advice, but a summon
Do you see how much we have in common?
This is just a word or to, maybe more
But sharing life with you makes me love you all the more.

Thanks for the review, Kash, but no, the last line is a one line, not two for the rhyme scheme. :)
