Dr. Celestine Raj MD Poetry

A paper-boat, I tend to be!
The sea of life is too stormy;
Afraid I am, it could sink me,
Before I can reach land’s safety!

But if He wants, the Almighty,
Could work miracles still, for me;
And guide the boat to shore safely,
And keep me dry, eternally!

A paper-boat just on the sea!
How can it float for long freely?
And when the sea becomes angry,
Can it escape its cruelty?

But all the same, I move slowly;
Nothing on earth can deter me;
Unless something so cowardly,
Drenches the boat mercilessly.

A paper-boat just, on the sea!
I know I must make it, surely;
And when I reach the shore, may be,
I will feel immensely happy!

A paper-boat just, on life’s sea!
Who else would want to be like me?
God is my guide and my safety;
In Him, I have strong faith truly!

A paper-boat just, on the sea!
A paper-boat, I tend to be;
A paper-boat, I want to be-
A paper-boat just, on life’s sea!
