If you make a friend of time
For waves that break in the mangrove beach
Will pull your ship from that sinking reef
If the lighthouse is afar
And a misty fog blocks the North star
Follow the terns to the left
Or north or south whichever is best
A starfish near the beach
May swim away beyond your reach
But a crab that moves sideways
May even wish you better days
A seagull that you think is dull
May show you the way if you lose your hull
A whale that you feel is bland
May one day give you a helping hand
An oyster that pricks your feet
Could have a pearl on some distant beach
A raft that is blown to sea
Will reach the Island of Serendib
