The Journey...

i have sailed the 7 seas yet never tasted the waters...

i have drowned countless times but have lived to see the day...

i have dreamed of a land of spring and endless summers...

but i’m still sailing through the storm and still finding my way...

with only a moon at night to guide me along...

i sail further ahead to find the northern star...

my heart feels broken, but my spirit remains strong...

i had thoughts of giving up... but no... i’ve come so far...

at last... i see a light shining ever so bright...

can’t believe that i’ve found it after all this time...

i have wished so hard and wished with all my might...

to find a heart of gold and now it’s finally mine...

Relaxing video. Not convinced yet that when finding something like this it can last, but maybe I'm just skeptical.
