I Row My Little Boat

I row my little boat
By Michelle Morris
23/02/2023

I row my little boat
Out onto the ocean 
I know boats are meant
To be free to explore

Harbours are safe
For ships to hide
But that's not where
They earn their stripes

Likewise, we humans
Need to meander
Through valleys and over hills
Experience the joy and happiness 

The fears and discomfort
The growing pains for our souls
We need to take the tests
To learn the lessons of old

So, I put my faith
In God above 
I pray for guidance
I pray for love

I row my little boat
With faith and hope
I live my life
With God's grace and love
