To My Granddaughter

You're on the ship from Here to There
upon the wide Transition Sea.
With visibility not clear
the future has no guarantee.

The navigation tools you need
were yours before you left from Here.
To find them all you must dig deep
to force solutions to appear.

When rocks and shoals and storms arise,
you'll steer your ship around the gale.
The links from ship to shore and back
are solid and will never fail.

If ever winds become so strong
they try to blow your ship off course,
remember where your anchors are:
you're ethics will avoid remorse.

So know you're on the proper ship
and face that sea devoid of fear.
Enjoy the voyage all the way;
you'll find that There is much like Here.
