Notes About The Poem

Storming Through the Sea- Collaboration With Jo Daniels

The weary sailors were lost at sea, 
Hoping to find a guiding light,
Wondering if they would survive this misery,
And escape their stormy plight;

 But the mighty waves would not relent,
 And roared like thunder through the night,
 The ship was tossed with fierce intent,
 The sea was showing them its might;

 The wind was blowing against them,
 And the sailors did not give up their fight,
 But they forgot their captain was at the helm, 
 Who had noticed a beacon shining bright;

 The lighthouse was but a speck in the storm,
 While turbulent waves gave a sure fright,
 Still, far, they could see an island form,
 And to them, it was the most beautiful sight;

 The captain whistled and steered the ship,
 The sailors encouraged, held on tight,
  Together, they did not let their vessel flip,
 As they reached the island safe alright.
