Anchor

When Life takes a nose-dive,
A big, crashing, roll-dive
It can sometimes be hard
like swimming in lard
to keep the wolves
      at bay.

And sometimes we try
very hard to not cry
but things must come out
we just have to spout

But always, and always
our mind finds it's ways
to lead the way home
where we keep our comb

So off with your hat
and toss it like that
and remember the smile
we'd like to see it a while!

The smile is your anchor
Let it destroy the canker
and you'll wash out to sea
where you can truly be free!
