Soul Surfer

Living is like riding on a wave
There may not be much to control
But Balance and Focus can always save
Any rider from a fall.
Persistence to ride again after all
The failures and stumbles that come
Makes living a duty and a call
A chance to be better
Than what we can become.
Taking off flaws that hinder the ride
Releasing the past with its aches
Regaining lost strength, restores Hope inside
With the wisdom to learn from mistakes.
