Christopher Schott Sr. Poet Ballad

Life Asail

The time elapsed, a month gone by,
And nothing yet to show;
The question now is not why,
But how far shall I go.

My fear is growing stronger,
And still I've found no course;
So I ask now, "How much longer"?,
My sorrow is remorse.

So desperate now I raise my eyes,
and call upon His Name;
To wash away my woeful cries,
and help to ease my pain.

For it is in this time of prayer,
That I gather strength at heart;
So my sadness best beware,
That soon it shall depart.

And now it's time to raise my sail,
And take my chosen course;
So that soon I shall prevail,
No sadness, no remorse.

And so I travel faster,
with my enemies behind;
I'm wary of disaster,
So cautious is my MIND.
