Refuse To Sink
It was a solid ship M'lord was battered here and there I'd had rough seas at times, of course but none that could prepare.
I saw the roughers coming I knew the sea would turn I couldn't know the pain of the lessons I would learn.
I tossed & turned on wild seas abandonment was near My ship was all but shipwrecked - not sunk, but in repair.
Twas struck by something stronger then not waves but strength I found Others on board needed me on the ocean and the ground.
Despite all that has come my way I'm here, I'm strong, I'm proud, My courage thick, my patience long and I fight through every cloud.
I accept mistakes - I've made a few I learn & find the good. Though sometimes lost - I find my way I forgive when i know i should.
I am loving, kind and gentle I care and empathise I'm positive, I'm confident I sail to brighter skies.
I know the sea's tumultuous - can bring to the brink. But i'm admiral of the fleet M'lord and I refuse to sink.
