Life is so confusing,
Pulled this way and that.

Battered by the tides and winds,
You explain about the ships at sea.

That I am its only Captain,
And need to set its course.

That these are my decisions,
They are mine to make and change.

But if I should veer off my course,
You will be there to guide me through.

Standing tall upon the shore,
Your light shining bright and true.

But you will only guide me,
Not tell me what to do.

You cherish my indepenence.
Revere my growing strenghs, too.

Most of all you demand respect,
for and from, me and you.

Dedicated to my Master, Obsever.
A lesson he is so trying to teach me.
