From 'The Winds of Fate'

Beautiful lines... well thought and even better written...:)

 

"One ship drives east and another drives west

With the selfsame winds that blow.

'Tis the set of the sails,

And Not the gales,

That tell us the way to go.

Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate;

As we voyage along through life,

'Tis the set of a soul

That decides its goal,

And not the calm or the strife..."

-The Winds of Fate by
