A journey of life

Life is like a journey,
A journey of the seas,
That is only once in a life span,
Only once for us.

From a port that is mortal,
to another of the immortal,
The ship to board is the same.
Where it takes us depends on us.

The captain is I,
for where we steer is where we go,
For cold winds will misguide us,
Tempt us into rich mirages.

For our guide is a single star,
to find the one port,
But hard to follow that one true star,
As many fail to do so.

But at last,
when we find the port,
We're sure of its riches,
Of such places.
