sailing along the wide ocean of life,
smelling the fresh air of the cool breeze.
how happy to look around the ship,
watching the flow of the ocean at peace.
but circumstances may come along this sailing,
the water waves may be in state of turbulence.
some captains may abandon the ship,
and some captains with try to hang over it.
but that's what ocean of life brings,
to test how strong the sailing ship.
for this ship has a specific destination,
to reach there it needs its determination.
when you are on a ship you watch the ocean,
focus on the peace it brings inside.
but did you ever look the skies above?
not appreciating how more peaceful it is above.
sometimes it happens we are happy with the flow,
flow of life that we don't even get bothered.
as long there is water we just go and row,
along the ocean of this life and reach our goal.
row with determination to reach our goal of destination,
bravely you just need to face the waves of the ocean.
and when the time comes that the ocean becomes dry,
never loose hope for you still have a bright sky to look up.
