Sailing Ships were meant to travel the open water to survive the storms that were inevitable. When storms approach, ships do better on the high seas then in port. How each ship survives depends on how well she was built, the knowledge and experience of the captain, and a well-trained crew working together to do what is needed to survive the storm. Without its sails it is at mercy of waves and winds.
Just as the human is meant to prepare for the storms of life by doing what each is equipped to do. use their intelligence and experience to ride out the storms and survive.

Ship of ancient sails
Prepare for the storm ahead
Fill the sails with good wind
Steer true the angry waves
Secure the hatches
Secure what is not
Order the crew to the ready
Alert and steady as she goes
Years at sea
Many a storm fought
Each storm different
Ship now ready to meet its challenge
