Braving the Wild Waves

“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?
