The seas of our lives are indeed treacherous waters. But the strongest and bravest of us may face them with great courage. But we must never assume that we have overcome them lest we be lured into their depths.

There is nothing sloppy or out of place with this one. As Mozart said, you, like he, did not use one more or less note than the piece required. Your compositional style is well thought with perfect detail. Perfectly executed image. Thanks for sharing!
