A place to call home



We are like the harbours
resting ourselves by the seaside
welcoming ships of all walks of life into our little sanctuary
for them to take a rest
replenish energy to go on with their separate journey
 ships...they come and they go
never knowing if they would return to us one day
all the harbour could do
is shining its ever blinding light
wait for the day THE ship would come
and calls it his home for eternity

We are like the ships
ferry, yachts, boats and sampans,
sailing in this vast ocean
brace ourselves against the angry tides and waves
sometimes we are hit by giant tsunami
that brings us down 
sometimes pirates ship comes out of the blue
robs us of our money and gold
strips us of our dignity
but somewhere along the way a lifeboat appears and lift us up

Some of us are drifters
letting the waves bring us to fresh continents
continent to continent we go
into the unknown territory
unaware of danger lurking all around

Some of us are seekers
ready with navigator
setting eyes on treasure islands
island after island we go
seeking the elusive treasures

But in the end
what we been looking for all along
is just a harbour to dock, for LIFE
a place to call HOME
