The Meaning of Life

by Marykelly

The meaning of life is unique to each soul
but the pursuit of happiness is one common goal.
Navigating life's waters means staying afloat
with a chart, a compass, and just the right boat.

A tugboat helps others arrive safely in port,
a cruise ship entertains with fun of all sorts,
a battleship protects its country and people,
a schooner sails by with a mast like a steeple.

What kind of wheelhouse will keep you afloat?
Did the Fisher-of-Men ask you into His boat?
When He sets the anchor, the boat won't drift away
and pursuit of happiness is on course every day.
