-Calm Waters

Harbour your vessel in the sea of life
In calm water or safe shores
Avoid wild raging ocean storms
Keep your vessel safe and secure

Wild weather and furious waves
Vessel control you may lose
In the eye of a frenzied storm
You may end up battered and bruised

Huge swells will toss and tumble you
Fiercely thrash you around
Knocking you quietly overboard
The unforgiving sea will drag you down

Sinking deeper and deeper
Unable to gasp any air 
Frenzied clambering to the surface
Yet getting nowhere …..

A helping hand reaches down
Pulls you out of the oceans fury
Harbour your vessel on calm waters
As the ocean has no judge or jury!
