Wandering

Wandering through life day after day, 
tossed like a ship in a mighty gail; 
Trying to find a place to anchor, 
So that I might finally cut sail. 

I hope my ship will stay a float, 
till I can find a harbor of peace; 
Where the sun is warm, the sky is blue, 
and the winds they will cease. 

I have grown old and weary, 
my hair once brown now turns gray; 
Fighting this storm that I call my life, 
battling both night and day; 

Has left me weak and tattered, 
just looking for some sweet rest; 
I hope the morrow will be kinder, 
and not the start of another test.
