1st Mate

When the ocean around you turns gray,
clouds roll in blocking the light,
and cold foamy arms reach for you

I will be your 1st mate

As the storm gathers; winds rising
waves rolling, tossing your ship
mast shaking, sails snapping

I will be your 1st mate

With the torrent pulling at you,
drawing you down into an eddy of tears
Screaming at the hurricane’s wrath !

Remember you are Not Alone

Hold tight to the wheel my son
Fight against the torrent, as it
Threatens to swallow you whole

I will be you 1st mate

When waves crash onto the deck
I will batten the hatches
bend the lashings and set lines

I will be your 1st mate

I will stand in the heart of the storm
with you, offering you my strength
and my knowledge of these waters

we will ride out the storm, Together
