Fair Winds

Set me adrift before a fair wind's song
upon the sea of life, with confidence
clear those unsettled clouds that closely throng,
and keep my passage free of turbulence.

Help me to weather storms of vanity,
compose the waves that threaten to destroy;
guide me into those tides of sanity
where I can anchor to the nearest bouy.

At sunset, when enfolding shades of night
invade my sea, then send sweet Luna's shine
to ward away those bitter pangs of fright
that harass me from the inky depths of brine.

When I finally see my rendezvous
just fill my sails with hope and guide me through.
