The skies were dark the other day
My compass had
lost true North
I turned to
face the wind away
Searched the
horizon and set my course
A lighthouse
blinks off in the distance
As blasts of
wind break the waters anew
And doubt
creeps into my weary conscience
Yet will and
word with faith stay true.
And so my ship
cuts through the ocean
With gusts and
swell it shudders and rolls
My soul, it
bursts with relief and emotion
As I pass the
shadows and beyond the shoals.
At last some
sunlight breaks through the shroud
With the
calming waters of the harbor in view
I sail past the
breakers and the sun through the clouds
As the dark
skies and waters turn bright and blue.
The storm is
behind me and fading fast
Tears rise up
as strife fades into the past
The docks draw
closer with help standing ready
With Joy, I
realize my ship sailed steady.
