The dinghy's bobbing helpless in the stream The broken oars are futile 'gainst the force The current pulling to the sea. The wind is blowing fro Desperation searching for a course And from the shore a shout, “Come on I'll save you But you will have to pay a little fee I don't want your money or possessions All I want is you to think like me” And from the other shore a darker voice “I think you'll see this side is much more fun All I want is never-ending gratitude I can easily show you how it's done” The wind was swirling, pressing on the dinghy Pushing it from shore to rocky shore Temptation to accept one or the other Grew strong for fear of losing evermore But wait, this dinghy's hull is sleek and smooth Straight keel and mast above the haze When sails are set it plays within the wind Determined course to seas or sheltered bays It's knowledge shapes the keel to slice the water And courage 'gainst the storm to set the sails And love that tills the rudder stays the course With freedom jibe and tack among the perils                                     RC

The Dinghy
The dinghy's bobbing helpless in the stream The broken oars are futile 'gainst the force The current pulling to the sea. The wind is blowing fro Desperation searching for a course And from the shore a shout, “Come on I'll save you But you will have to pay a little fee I don't want your money or possessions All I want is you to think like me” And from the other shore a darker voice “I think you'll see this side is much more fun All I want is never-ending gratitude I can easily show you how it's done” The wind was swirling, pressing on the dinghy Pushing it from shore to rocky shore Temptation to accept one or the other Grew strong for fear of losing evermore But wait, this dinghy's hull is sleek and smooth Straight keel and mast above the haze When sails are set it plays within the wind Determined course to seas or sheltered bays It's knowledge shapes the keel to slice the water And courage 'gainst the storm to set the sails And love that tills the rudder stays the course With freedom jibe and tack among the perils                                     RC
