The ship of hope

The ship of hope is built with beautiful words.
Solidly joined with love.
Her rigging is made of good fortune and mutual Faith.
Equipped with anchors of friendship and understanding.
Honesty is her compass.
Floating, sailing, tramping we go,
on the wings of inspiration.
Our destination utterly unknown.
Our course set by fate,
aided by intuition and rationality.
Travelling together on stamina.
Dreaming between moon and stars.
Forever the holds are filled,
with the souvenirs of life.
