Holder of The Sails,

Linking with Poetry Jam

So much depends on
the strength of the sails
the force of the winds
the size of the waves
 the courage of the man in the boat
and the reliance he has on
The One truly holding the sails
 God.

    I'm so glad that I am not in charge of 'holding the sail'. This is beautiful.

    Wind

    Sometimes you can plan a course
    Sometimes the wind sets the plan
    Sometimes you know the force
    But it changes at weathers command
    so
    set the sail
    expect change
    enjoy the challenge
    of the day
    and
    smile

    Do you mostly serve as an author for this website or you do this for any other online or offline portals?
