When life gives out troubles all around,
When it seems there is nothing else to do
Why not go fishing?
When the day is calling and work does not appeal,
The sun is shining and outside seems more real,
The lake is only the other side of the hill,
Why not go fishing?
I’ve heard it told there is nothing like
The peace and solitude when out on the bight
But try as I can I can’t imagine I might
Go out fishing!
But wait, if I give it a little more thought
I might find that I have done what I ought
And seek out fish of a different sort
And spend time fishing!
When you have a friend who has found the Lord
And he savours every single Word
He wants to go out and tell the world
And then we can say ‘he’s gone fishing!’
Matthew 4:19, Mark 1:17 “Come follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men”. NIV

The word "bight" is defined as an expanse of water. So it wasn't spelled to match the other rhyming words. Silly me! (I was thinking of "bite" as in the fish biting.) Hope I didn't lead anyone astray from the meaning of the poem. My apologies to the writer!
This little line was so catchy! I love it! Fun and creative... Blessings, Cheri
