Life Boat.

It is a big boat
a life saving boat
carrying people
at times of danger
and depositing them
in places of safety.
It stood there
on the shores
of a mighty ocean
in anticipation of storm
or any untoward incident.
The ocean was normal
flowing with tides calm
and the ships were moving
in strides safe
while there was a busy
thorough fare of business
and traffic
the harbour nearby
deftly handling
the transactions.
The life boat seemed
unnecessary at that juncture
but is a must
as none can predict
storms and turbulence
Curiously so in real life too
a security is essential
that should be handy
and keeping vigil at a vantage point
to avoid risks and disturbance
Security in the form of
cash monetary wise
and strong support to lean on.
