Sailing Through Life

Photo by Diana Rafira

“Wind in your sails” comes
from wanting to learn,
helping others
and taking turns.

Change tacks if you
make a mistake.
Set a new course,
for goodness’ sake.

To ride out a storm,
reduce your sails.
Rest below deck
and read tall tales.

Enjoy the cruise,
sunset and sunrise,
the ports you will visit,
the sea gulls’ cries.

You have love and gifts
to share with the world.
They will carry you far—
like a sail unfurled.
