Homeward Bound in a Sea of Troubles
As we harness Fate’s wild winds to our lee
While navigating Life’s troublesome sea,
We become flanked by Scylla and Charybdis
With only our life experience to guide us.
Yet try we do, and we sail on through,
Life’s rocky straits where others can't save us.
Before muddling on through Atropos swirling brew,
Knowing we’ll lose many close friends around us.
As we sail homeward like the hero Odysseus
Who plied forward through Life’s trials and mess,
We yearn for gentler and glassier seas,
While trying to remain Life's protagonist.
