Valiantly sailing onward toward my goal Of the eternal
sunset,
I carry precious cargo -- all I have learned. It is
the kiss of wisdom.
I anticipate blue skies, the brilliant sun, and a
peaceful sea.
Ready for the misty fog in human life, Prepared for
storms ahead,
Hailed by a breathless gale, my sails are stripped. I
am cast into darkness.
But the right stars Faithfully guide me onward, Giving
me hope and courage.
Mended are my broken masts. I am ready once again for
the challenge.
For today is memory of the sorrow borne On yesterday's
breeze.
And tomorrow is the joy of the sunset Treasured in
today's dream. |
