“Life is like a ship tossed on the wide sea to journey amidst sunshine and wild waves”.- by author. Braving the Wild Waves When wild winter winds bend down mighty trees And drive many souls to knell on their knees When flash floods sweep away all on their way And make many men their pitiless prey, When stormy gales hurl one`s ship on the reefs And the crew is immersed in seas of grief When ahead lies the mouth of a steep cliff That sounds like the resting place of a grave Do we yield to scare or brave the wild waves?
