Shipwrecked
Jan27 by justhappeneduponthis
Some could swim
And some seemed helpless
Furious waves
Their ship attacked
Gone the load
And gone the sunshine
One last meal
For strength they lacked.
But a prisoner
Still in shackles
Gave them hope
That all might pass.
True, his God
Had seen the danger
Brought the shore
Of rest at last.
Down the anchors
Share the wreckage
Bits and boards
To buoy their swim
“Off for land
Ye hardy ship-mates
Just put all your
Trust in Him!”
Not so pretty
Seemed this passing
Soaking rats
Not hardly men
But a captive’s
Dauntless message
Brought all safe
Ashore again.
