The Rowboat

A storm rages within the sea
A storm rages within you and me
Crest after trough we persevere
In the face of surmounting fear

Through the tempest
Against the rage of the waters
Our rowboat struggles
Yet never falters

In the midst of this horror,
All our hopes are made clear
With these five simple words:
“I’ll row and you steer…”
