Row ... Lest You Drift
Gently down the stream you float
unless you row to guide your boat.
Oh, merrily you'll glide along,
but drift too far and then be gone.
Or drift to shores you can't foresee,
uncharted lands of mystery.
So row with cause! Steer your course!
Tack those winds of least remorse.
Now row with spirit - don't delay -
for aimless boat oft led astray.
Row with strength to then attain,
else drift afar with no acclaim.
Life's a dream yet take the helm!
Guide your oars for job done well.
Let merrily your course unwind
and row your boat with goal in mind.
