Our Long Journey
Like
the strong breakwater off the shore
Protecting
boats anchored in the slips,
You’ve
been the strength that keeps
Our
boat safely harbored
Against
the winds and storms of our life.
Even
tho’ our boat has been blown off course
Many
times over the decades,
Our
journey continues, your hand on the rudder
Giving
up your life preserver.
Protecting
me, so often, as I fall overboard
I
should have been lost at sea
But
for strength and never ending faith
You
bravely navigate the winds
To
save me.
And
as our journey continues to
Circumvent
the world of life,
I,
your first mate may likely
Lose
grip of the rudder
Falling
overboard, stalling our voyage.
My
love for you is steadfast
And
with the faith I have in you,
I
pray that together we hold on
To
the ship’s wheel,
And
calmly sail off into the
Sunset
of our life.
