THE FISHERMAN

A Mother honors her son

To Mark

Begin each day with a thankful heart.

Love yourself even more.

Your individual spark holds gist,

as you stand upon the shore.

Your kindness and humor gently tend

towards your fellow mates-

for they have weathered the same fierce storms,

with He who navigates.

Time past you fished upon the wharf,

cast line and sinker deep,

with breeze and mist upon your young face,

caught crabs and fish to eat.

Memories will stay apart of you,

woven deep in your Soul,

though currents changed, and seasons rushed-

gray tide sweeping low.

Your life moved on, as sea gulls did search,

circling sea and sand,

leaving messages at The Light House,

petitions to His hand.

He never left you as inlets curved,

sweeping your life along,

dragging the anchor of dreams to depths,

where sharpest crag’s are found.

Echo’s of your courage still linger,

when compass took a spin,

directing courses you had not sought,

trudging with the din.

May new days dawn with renewed strength,

coming to terms within,

dueling this maze upon the rift,

in valor you shall win.

Your bravery is so notable,

patience surpassing all,

strange burdens that you carry inside,

in your height, I feel small.

These events that have attached to you,

reel my heart closer too,

entwining love , steady and strong

holding tight in God’s palm
