Poetry

---

Lord, I want to be in the same boat as you
To sail together with you
Enjoy the spray of the light waves
Admire your refreshing presence.

Lord, if you are in my boat
The power of the tidal storm cannot drown me ever
Even if you are gently asleep
I know you are very much in command.

Lord, I want to stretch my hands
Over the sea of life just as you did
To calm the uproar of the surging wind and waves
When it tries to topple the boat over.

Lord, I want to walk on the waters
My footsteps as firm as if on the shore
To look deeply into your understanding eyes
An assurance that I will never sink.

Lord, be in the same boat with me
Every lap of the wave will be a milestone in life
A boat filled with love, hope and care
Thus, we can safely row to the promised shore.

Maria Franco
