Come on Board
A New Start
A ship, well-crafted, needs a careful chart.
On the vast sea of life, the vessel starts.
First, fuel her boiler with a steady hand,
Wholesome provisions from a fertile land.
To keep her engine strong, her pistons bright,
She needs the labor of the day and night.
A constant flow of cool, clear, flowing streams,
To purge the lines and feed her waking dreams.
Unfurl the sails to catch the solar rays,
A guiding beacon for the journey’s way.
Let moderation steer, not rush nor creep,
Through quiet channels of the tranquil deep.
Draw deep the breath of pure, unfettered air,
A silent gift, a strength beyond compare.
At anchor, find the calm when tempests cease,
And trust the Pilot brings the port of peace.
