CROSSING THE SEA

IFE is but an empty journey

Through this world's lonely sea,

The soul plays the passenger

Who travels thro' life's danger The body forms the ship

That is so precious on this trip Conveying the soul thro' the sea,

Conveying it to its destiny..

W the lonely ship sails

THETHER in colm or in gales

Facing the wind and the wave

Facing the world so grave. Facing the troubles and sorrow

That come with every morrow.

Facing each and every act

Facing life with great tact.

SLOWLY and steadily it glides

Through life and its numerous tides.

Patiently and calmly it undergoes

Life's friends and life's foes.

Bravely and strongly it tries to face

The dangers that arise with every pace.

Quietly and peacefully it sails

Whether in snows or in gales....

HE storms of the peaceful ocean Account for life's temptation. The rain and the boisterous wave

Make the ship the sea's slave, Thus the ship tends to sink,

And is so thrown to peril's brink.

Likewise all the deadly evils

Bring the soul to the crafty devils. THE ship thus meets destruction

If in yields to cruel temptation,

For

gets flooded by the sea And meets a fatal destiny.

Gradually it sinks below

Thro' the fiery waters that flow

Into dread and misery

That lie beneath the sea....

ME ships reach the port

And so, collect their reward.

Their happiness is so great

When from the ship they do separate,

To let the Lord praise the soul

For it has now attained its goal.

The soul has reached its destiny

The body has crossed the lonely sea.. -Credit card to Daya Gulab.
