the waves are so choppy
there's more in store
rocking the boat further
away from the shore
the storm has just started
the rains splash your brow
you fight the exhaustion
no time for rest now
direction is scattered
you're losing your way
the boat keeps rocking
hope has turned to dismay
you struggle for strength
you give a good fight
no desire within you
to just say goodnight
and let the waves take you
to the depths of despair
steer your way thru it
keep taking in air
the storm will soon end
and sun shall replace
the droplets of rain
that covered your face
smile in the knowlege
your life is a gift
and rest yourself now
let your boat gently drift
to the shores you will come
with nary a worry
live life as you want it
no reason to hurry
friends they will come
a few angels you'll host
be kind to them all
to one you may mean the most
a smile will help you
in so many ways
take nothing for granted
treasure all of your days
