Ship's
Journey, A Collection of Verse
Ship's Journey I was once a ship always taking the journey in rough waters I now know how to map out the journey to sail on calmer waters I frequently came into port for major repairs I now only need minor repairs Friendly passing ships became hardships I now pass other ships in a friendly but cautious way My ship was always prepared for war I now sail in peace I once stayed anchored in fear I now pull up anchor with courage I never sailed too far from the comforts of shore I now have confidence I can control my ship I once thought the sea had all the power I now see, I too, have power over the seas I sail
