Marginally focused
On what’s to be
Taking my time
Getting to my destiny.

Purging all bad
Making it destroyed
On this adventure
Where I’m employed.

As a curator, a mentor
Maybe a captain too
On a voyage I’ve begun
Right along with you.

Can’t say I’m in charge
But have my hand on the helm
And I’ll steer this vessel
Down the road that may not
Always be calm.

Hold my course steady
Turn and duck
On this my life’s road
Making sure I’m ready
For all it can hold.
