On a flat gray sea a freighter moves
to feed, to care, to improve,
sunlight gone, lights blaze,
against the careless sea
the freighter goes, little by little.

I would like the poem to be understood by the sense of "little by little" in our progress toward a better life for all, as if to say what progress we make is done against high risks and small rewards.
