Life's Journey Peaceful skies and calm waters, Sun setting beyond the darkened clouds, The waters are peacefully lapping, The shore covered in a misty shroud. The lighthouse stands tall, Its beacon a promise brightly glowing, To those seeking help, A ship in the midst of turmoil’s flowing. Storm clouds roll across the sky, The tide rises as the water rushes, High winds create white capping, Along the coast salty water gushes. The tranquil day has now slipped away, Serenity is lost to the dark night, Fear slips into the soul unprepared, Assurance has suddenly taken flight. I'm in the middle of the sea, Surrounded by fierce waves, My ship sails uncharted waters, Tossed about my spirit waives. My heart cries out in urgency, Control of the ship is not mine, My life has been surely wasted, The world I made into a shrine. Lord, reach down and save this ship, I flounder upon the turbulent seas, Without You as my Captain, I will list and sink, fore'er lost I'll be. Oh God the seas You have calmed, The water is placid and slow, This ship is on a homeward course, It is guided by Heaven’s sweet glow. You are my Lighthouse, A constant Beacon to light my way, Cleansed by Your blood, In safety I sail onward today. ©Gayle Davis 26 May 2007 E-mail : Website:
