The Law of the Ocean

In life, everything follows 

the law of the ocean.


There is an ebb and flow,

a high tide and a low tide.


Some days

there will be calm seas;

other days

you face the rising water.


Never forget 

that the current 

can only pull you under

if you surrender to it. 


Don't let the wave 

swallow you whole.


Remember that

you have the strength

to keep your head

above the surface.


Drowning is not 

a result of weakness.


It is submission in spite 

of your power

to control your course.
