Paddling Against the Wind ~ Brenda Conley ~ Living Each Day

Sometimes I'd like to sail away
And find a peaceful place
Far from the madness...
Of this human race

Where I can listen to the seagulls
Sing a gentle song
Serenading me to a peacefulness
Where I know my heart belongs

Sometimes it just feels like...
I'm trying as hard as I can
Yet, some days I find...
I'm just...paddling against the wind

Upon those days...I'm sad to say
I lose my way...
To my spiritual destination
As the tides of dismay...
Calls my lowly name

When I become weary...
And sometimes kneel and sigh
I call out to my loving Savior...
In my most reverent of cries

There He instills in me...
Once again...my precious Friend
That He's always...by my side
Even after...this journey ends
