Perseverance on the seas
Korean International School, Lam, Josiah - 14
On the ship comparable to the horror of the shade,
we have not winced nor mourn aloud.
It has been many days without food for everyman,
we have fallen, caught in a bad situation.
In the evening the waves covered us,
we have lost our way in the enormous sea.
In the evening the storm covered us,
we have lost our way back to the shore.
I thank whatever gods may be,
sending his massagers rescuing us.
We will never forget that which has happened.
We will remember till death do us part.
It matters not how strait the gate.
How the situation is as bad as purgatory
We are the master of our future.
We are the leader of our spirit.
