My Boat
I set sail in the deepest blue waters… once I left the land , I was excited about the journey .. but once I got there to sea .. I feared the unknown…feared beyond reason..
Now I’m in the middle of the ocean … I can not see the shore , yet it is beyond the horizon…
But my boat is strong.. my sails.. well worn but made of strong material …
My boat is full of supplies,including food , and water , tools, and my head is full of knowledge of the sea and of expereince… my hands are skilled at sailing ..
Why is it now that I fear .. what I didn’t before ?
Why is it now .. that I worry that my boat won’t reach the shore ?
Tis it not the same boat the I started the journey with?
I see no holes in this boat …I see no pirates .. and yet still I fear…
But where is my courage of a lion or beast now?..
Where is my will to fight and weather the upcoming storm ?
My God hasn’t left me , he doesn’t want me to give up either ...He will not forsake me or leave me to down ,
He is a good God ..
I don’t know what he’s doing …
Only that he seeks to make me stronger …
More humble…
More like him …
I ask to be his humble servant…
And to strip me of all things that grow my ego to large to see or understand , or be compassionate to others …
For the beauty of the boat is not always on the outside …
But in the stories of her travels …
Inside the depth of her wood…
The wood that lasted a thousand storms or more …
The memories inside the boat are priceless…
So as boat starts to lose its outer beauty, it’s inner beauty will remain …
It is also so, with a person ...
As my outer beauty fades…
All that will remain ... is the lines on my face , the sparkle in my eyes .. the sweet mellowness of my heart and soul .. my passion for life ..
And the memories that I treasure so much …
Oh.. And to find that person that will love me for life.. beyond all my lines , scars…
Oh what a beautiful day that will be …
To love me beyond it all …
Beyond Reason … Some who take my intensity and let it inspire them to bring out the best in themselves…
For a love without depth.. is a like boat made from the weakest of materials.. unless its so well care for .. it surely break .. but a boat .. made of beautiful wood , cut piece by piece .. loving put together.. is a boat that will weather any storm life throws at it
Build your boat wisely…
For love isn’t facts … love isn’t money… Love isn’t material things.. Love isn’t just the feeling…Is isn’t just the desire or lust… Love is so much more …
Love is an action ..
A leap of Faith into the unknown…
Love is an neverending adventure, the needs to be nurtured …
Love is one of the most incredible things you have can have..
Yet I think its true ... to truly know how precious it is ..
One must lose it at least once…
Maybe not even lose a boyfriend or a husband , but lose someone close to them…
To have love you must have a mutual respect for each other… mutual admiration, The two must protect their love from the world … and keep their inner most things to themselves..
Sort things out between each other…
One must be humble in love ..
Willing to really listen to hear , not only to speak … to do things in love.. not hate …
It’s an amazing commitment to be partners in life …
To be there in the hardest of times …
And fight to get to the next day …
To want the best for each other… always …
To do anything to make someone smile…
To put aside your desires… sometimes .. And be one …
Be we instead of I…
The words we speak into relationships are powerful …
Over the years , I’ve been learning to think more before I speak …
Is it kind ? Is it helpful ?Is it meant in a loving way …
Words are tools …
Choose them carefully especially with the ones you love the most …
For it is the saddest tragedies, when one forgets to do just that … and says things that they can never take back …
Does things in the moment they can never take back …
And loses the one they love .. be it romantic or not …
For who wants to sail their boat completely alone on the vast seas of life ?
With no one to share the journey with ?
Protect your boat , cherish your boat .. Cherish your love and your loved ones .. with your heart and soul …
And do whatever it takes not to lose them …
For the sea of life … Will try to take them away…And some you will lose ...
And you’ll miss them from the depths of your very soul …
And wish you could turn back time …
Yet life has a strange way of surprising you never know what adventure awaits around corner … keep sailing…
Never stop sailing your boat, never it let it crash to the shore …never let it tarnish so much that you can’t sail it …
For these words come from the bottom of my heart soul …
