Call of the Ocean

Something so scary

I envy the seas creatures
Even the seagulls
Their freedom
Their intimacy
Salt water in my veins
Am I a child of the sea?
Destined to never return home?

Perseverance

I will persevere! I will carry on! Though it seems life is pointless, Though it seems I'm going in circles, God has a plan and a purpose. I know He will bring me To the place I ultimately belong.

If I am to know Him, I must share in His sufferings. Who better to share with Than my Most High God? He knows me more intimately Than any other. He is the only one who can heal me. I will press on And fix my eyes to the goal. No matter what happens around me, Though all my friends fail Or abandon me, I'll keep my eyes on the prize For He never fails, Nor will He leave me!
