Roll With The Waves

We are but tiny ships, adrift upon
the sea.
Life is given as a test. The God
Above knows the quest.
We make our choices at each turn,
Events unfold as He has planned.
Often we are tossed about, by
Unexpected challenges or doubts.
Yet in between the rolling waves
We float, contentedly at peace,
Then jostled by a larger wave our
Attention now is placed to heaven
And His plan, we murmur prayers
that often are forgotten while we rest
Within the calm between each wave of
Life's enthralling exploration of our days.
