Lifesurfer

It seems that life is a series of waves
And I a surfer untried
Some waves are huge, some are small
Some I take in stride

Then one knocks me down and a pattern emerges
Too many times, I’ve been struck by the surges
Finding my balance to get up again
Takes longer and longer for me and then

It’s on to the next, when can I rest
When will I make it to shore
As I’ve gotten older, one thing I know is
There’s more rough water in store

A powerful metaphor, Mike. Yep, as we go through life we realize that "there's [always] more rough water in store."
