My ship has sailed through many seas
Here I rest, seemingly retired
From many scenes and ocean breezes
T'was long ago I was launched
I have weathered many storms
Thought my skeleton of a frame
Would be broken, now I'm worn.
A child of adventure I long to roam
Away, away from the shores of home!
Can I exist on foreign waves
Will my hull stay strong,
Shall I be brave?
Love has come and gone like a gale
Coming up on horizon,
All my body under pressure
Can I brace it, and survive?
The young one within says
"Yes, I will!"
Proudly, my keel smoothly glides
Till I find a haven at the other side
Of the stormy bay.
So many phases of life,
Through many years
Trials, adjustments,
Laughter, crying
And tears.
That's what makes me
Who I am
A boat in a fleet
Of many of God's women
Destined for my haven
One day to rest on heaven's shore
I'll sail these waves no more
Resting on the glistening sand
Saying "Always my times
Were in Your hand!"
