Winds of Change

With the winds of change billowing in her sails, the ship of Hope forged her way through beating off waves of doubt and fear with nothing more than faith and determination. Battered, but unbeaten, Hope rocked gently in the quiet calm of the moment. While her intrepid crew celebrated some early success, her young captain stood frozen on the creaky foredeck eyeing the sea of discontent and the dangers ahead. With one stern brow slightly arched, Hope's captain pondered the challenges that await. Can hope endure the treacherous waters ahead? How many more vicious onslaughts can she sustain? Can the integrity of her hull be maintained? Will cheers and confetti mark a historic voyage, or will tears and wreckage note a tragic end? Hope's fate rests in her captains hands for he alone commands her destiny.
