The Same Boat
'We're all in the same boat' they sayBut I would disagreeSo many different sailing craftsUpon this stormy sea Some sail on ocean linersIn comfort, style, and easeRelaxing on their balconies....Sipping G & Ts Some speed along in motor boatsAs if it's all ok......With little care for smaller craftsWhich may get in their way Some struggle on their battleshipsWhere nothing's going rightEndlessly preparing.....For the next relentless fight Some huddle in their lifeboats...And pray that they'll be savedHoping for a calmer sea...And fearing every wave Some drift around upon their rafts....They barely stay afloatThey're praying for a change of luck...And chance to board a boat Some haven't found their sea legs yet....And dread each wave and swellThey're struggling to stay uprightAnd don't feel very well So whilst you're on your journeyTo a safe and calmer portLook out for fellow sailorsWho may need some support Could you throw them a life belt?Or a paddle ..... or an oar?Perhaps you could help guide themA bit nearer to the shore Julie Sheldon18.06.20
