Life is like a ship on a course
Your mind and heart leading the way
Like a naval Captain and XO
In the many navies of today
The crew of the ship is made up of
Close family, friends and coworkers
Cousins, aunts, uncles as well as
Acquaintances and eventually wives
Thankfully as you'll notice in this list
Most of the people you take for the ride
Are yours for the picking and choosing
Which is immeasurably helpful in many ways
Ideally you want to put together a dream team
To run this ship of yours in the right direction
You can't just have any bunch of random people
They need to be carefully chosen to set the course
Unlike an actual ship your course is not set
When your ship first leaves the dock or port
And sets sail for new adventure on the high seas
Where life will encounter smooth as well as rough waters
This is why having the right crew is so important
They can help find the right direction for you
Through solid advice, teaching and setting a good example
Set from the lives they've lived or the mistakes they've made
You need to always have someone in the Crow's Nest
Keeping an eye out for danger and opportunity on the horizon
This could be anyone I've mentioned so far or even someone new
This is a role you should seek in a wife and so a wife should seek in you
Now with all that being said don't forget to care for your ship
You'll need to put new sails, lumber, paint and other upgrades occasionally
Analogies, metaphors and synonyms aside this means
Don't forget to eat well, go to the gym, get enough sleep and wear sunscreen
