Patience and Perseverance
In the voyage of life when we set sail
Let patience allied with perseverance
Be the bacon light for us to avail
In the warm summer of exuberance
As in the wild, wobbling winter of gloom
When wilful wintry winds whirl us to doom
When whooping waves waft the frame of our boat
Let’s not give way to shadows of despair,
But hold on steadfast and keep on afloat;
When stormy gusts try our sails to lay bare
Let’s brace ourselves with power of the will
And determination as a firm shield.
Let’s not try to touch the sky at a stretch
As we may never meet the horizon,
Let’s not try heaven to reach at a breath
As we may tumble in the ocean,
But move on step by step as the clock’s chime,
Sail on steadily, a knot at a time.
Patience is a gift bestowed by the Lord
A balm that soothes the soreness of stress
A precious jewel seemly to afford,
And perseverance the key to success
The spirit that drives man to sail ahead,
The essence of efforts that are sacred.
When setting sail on an unknown voyage
It’s fitting to have faith in the Divine,
Who escorts our steps at every life`s stage
Ever guides our path across space and time
With patience to earn the Lord’s sublime grace
And with perseverance to win the race.
