Life's Boat

a single solitary boat

is how some choose to stay afloat

but in life's sea which can be blue

you need a friend to row with you



I have a friend that headed out alone this Summer to prepare for writing a cook book called #TheAdventureCookbook. He took a picture of this lake with a solitary boat on it which inspired me to write this poem. I'm on Facebook if anyone cares to take a gander. His name is Jay Phelan if ya'll care to look him up.
