Being captain of the ship that sails still...

I want to be all I can be and more, in each of my days;

Yet, I wish so strongly, to forget not my peace,

His Presence filling magic in silent star-lit nights.

The two faces of mine don't seem to match at all;

I know they're mere versions of me,

Why then search for any of them, why call?

Reading the uncertainty stemming from familiar faces,

I look knowingly, only to step away further, faster;

What is it about diversions making sure I'll last longer?

God in Heaven up there has been patient and kind;

He hasn't said a word, yet hasn't ever left my side.

Surely, He has listened, for I can feel it in my bones;

There's still a calm smile staring back through stones.

I'll chug along okay- all I need is mandatory sleep,

I've to remember I'm human, despite thoughts I think;

Small things I ignore, go long ways, my sanity to keep!

We'll persist, we'll win- each of us, all of us;

We've begun this journey together,

And we know in our hearts that, we began not to quit!

Nay, we ain't quitting, folks! We never will.

Simply because we can, we will and we still ARE!

Fight to WIN!!!
