Anchors


Few of us are sailors nor do we all live on deep water.
Anchors are among us all.

Over the times of our lives
lessons pass to us
by family and friends
neighbours, even strangers
anchors that hold our center steady

Our anchors ~
little sayings learned
stories told to us
lectures delivered sternly
throughout our childhood.

Keep your anchors 
stowed safely
drop anchor wisely
Anchors are wisdom gained from experience.

“Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor,
nor should life rest on a single hope.”
~ Epictetus
