Each of us sails on a ship
crafted by our own hands.
How I crafted my own vessel
with deeds and character.
Grown with me I cared for it
an image of myself.
How I sailed the treacherous sea of life
yet through constant perseverance
my sails held fast and the hull was sturdy.
Yet suddenly a hole now formed
for the waves torn the vessel's frame.
Water rushed in and filled the craft.
Through all my works I couldn't save
her and the vessel of my soul
sank to the bottom of the sea of life.
