We are all boats.



Some of us

Are cargo ships

That can be

Overloaded

With responsibilities

And pressures

But not sink.



Others are ships

That are much too small

To carry any weight

But still useful

To be driven

From one island

To another.



But we all have

A waterline

Where if we are

Loaded with too much

That the line disappears,

We will begin to sink.



This line was

Added by our boatbuilder

Who knows how much we can take,

How big our hold is

And he urges us not

To overload ourselves

Let we end up at

The bottom of the ocean.
