VOYAGE

This fleeting journey we called life 
Is filled with trials and strife 
Of bumpy trails and winding roads
With albatross and heavy loads 

In every step that we must make
We must paint marks on roads we take 
For, this voyage comes only once 
We might not get another chance 

We must chart feats we call our own 
And make a turn for every stone 
So that one day we won't regret 
Even when times seem to forget 

Our boat is waiting for the ride 
On waters, both narrow and wide 
Let our hopes fuel our dreams 
In this voyage on savage streams
