Shipwrecked
Sometimes life can be like the sea when winds are calm, and the tide is right
we sail across the water of life.
But when the winds increase our sails become torn and tattered.
The problems and worries of life threaten to run us aground to become
shipwrecked.
As each Captain is the master of his own vessel.
Following the charts to avoid reefs and sandbars.
We too must follow our hearts and minds.
Reaching out to family and friends.
They are our charts in the sea of life.
Let them guide you like the North Star to open water.
Until the storm is past, and the winds of life are clam once more.
