Let not the rocking of the boat knock off your confidence.
THE BOAT OF LIFE



Life is like a boat we row
Hard in troubled waters,
Trying to face the current
And go safely across.

Sometimes we are swallowed up
In the whirlpools of fate.
Sometimes we manage to have
A journey rather smooth.

But there are times when the ride
Simply does get bogged down,
And we curse our fate that in
The end we have just failed.

In such moments it’s best to
Remember this saying:
“Often when the boat is stuck,
The coast is not far off”.
