Sea Spray

The sea has its rewards and its downfalls
Young men misjudge her daily

Her tempest surge swallow whole ships by the day
Sometimes ripples just softly enough to put you to sleep

Ships driven by sturdy resilient men will find their way
Others driven by the uncouth cowardly men will falter

Adventure in far enchanted lands are real just go
Vice staying content in the drudges of day to day bustle at home

Keep in mind lives are at stake with every course and speed change
Though one should enjoy the spray with humility and grace
