Thanks

Tempest hits hard in the depth of darkness
     Rocks the tormented life’s directionless boat
Hope holds the tattered sails upright
     The ordained voyage assigned I’ll surely finish 
As God shows me the divine beacon of light
      I’ll navigate across the rough tossing sea
Never losing faith in His guiding grace
      I’ll reach the shore gleaming in hues of heaven
Kindle humbly in mind the candle of gratitude
      With heart filled with bliss, it’s Him I’ll thank
So much for suffusing me with boundless blessings
      Until the time to depart for the new abode arrives.
