Captain of Your Ship
In the vast expanse of life's grand sea
You stand at the helm, wild and free
Old habits whisper, tempting your course
Yet you steer with strength, your own force
The winds may howl, the waves may rise
But trust in your heart, it never lies
Intuition guides, a compass true
The captain of your ship is you
Hoist the sails of courage high
Let them catch the winds that sigh
Bravery's breath fills every sheet
As you navigate life's uncertain beat
Step beyond the comfort's shore
Where familiar tides call no more
Choppy waters may test your might
But fear not, for you hold the light
A voyage of rebirth awaits
Thriving shores, your destined fates
With every choice, a tale you weave
In the story of life, you believe
Write your epic, bold and bright
Steer your ship through day and night
Narratives chosen, paths embraced
In your hands, the future traced
The seas of life, a canvas wide
Painted with dreams, where hopes reside
You are the author, the guiding star
Captain of your ship, wherever you are
So sail forth with confidence anew
The world is vast, the skies are blue
Embrace the journey, let your spirit soar
For you are meant for so much more
Let the old ways drift away
Embrace the dawn of a brand new day
With sails unfurled and heart aglow
Set your course, let your spirit grow
In the captain's chair, you find your place
Navigating life's wondrous space
With every wave, a lesson learned
In the captain's heart, a fire burned
So, chart your course, let courage be
The guiding star across the sea
For you are the captain, bold and true
The author of your life's debut
