Sailing On My Own

this night
 i will
sail on my own,
going to my destiny
all by my two feet,
and
as i sail,
i will face the challenges
of the waves,
but i know that by the faith
in God
will be the key
 to reach my
destination,
as i go
apart from my
home,
sadness shall i feel
in the ocean blue,
but my dream for my future
shall prevail,
and soon i will be strong
and be proud of.
so i will not let the
ocean waves win over,
i will not let the dark night
rule the
sadness sorrow,
for i will overcome
it
and wait for
the dawn,
till the sun shine's
again,
to light up the way towards
my destination.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
