Changing the tide

Only one way possible for change

And that has absolutely nothing to do with the outside winds

After all, they have always been there

Their strength even varies

But that was always known

Did the boat take a turn you didn't want?

But what was that?

Was it inattention, lack of prudence, lack of perseverance?

Or was it still great confidence in yourself, skills, or experience?

We are all subject to this

And sometimes, subject to more than that

Life goes its way, one way or another

For or against the tide

We often want to change it

Is this possible?

Just with a step of faith
