In the river of life there are crashing waves against the shore
But also gentle winds and soothing rains don't panic anymore
When you stay calm the world will not be in a hurry
Often the challenges are not as strong as the worry
Those anxieties that linger in your mind
Are just imagined foes of a different kind
Do your daily tasks with diligence and care
Build up strength for life's upward stair
May you have the confidence to rest and take a pause
And the courage to keep moving forward without any cause
