The ship was a mainstay in the life and voyage of God,
Who sailed around the world in the times and days of odd;
And now the years have passed and journeyed down the ages,
Through the seasons of wind and rain and along the lines on pages.
.
In the ways and means of travelling the ship was set on water,
Out sailing on the oceans and across seas to countries it ought to;
And as the passage of the vessel would rock and sway on currents,
Over waves and swells of trouble and turmoil steering torrents.
.
And from shore to shore across the miles and years of purpose,
With whales breaching in the pods and the dolphins and the porpoises;
As the beauty of the tide and changing seasons yearning,
The heart of adventure and excitement constantly was turning.
.
And the magic of the dolphins as they ride the wave of the bow,
With God at the helm and wheel steering from the ships stern slow;
Continues on the journey of passage as the wind in the sails blow,
Like it was drifting in the channels of love that grows and flow.
.
The ship can be our friends and leader or steward of the work,
As the reader finds the true love of language in the word;
And the direction of the travelling is around and around the globe,
As the faith in God almighty is God's faith in us like Job.
.
And I wonder where I'll get to when I get to where I'm going,
And the end of the journey and voyage will be the place that I am knowing;
For the land that is visible on the horizon is a long time coming,
And returning to the start is a long way back from arriving.
.
Signed,
Captain God
