Exceptionally written! Great poem, story, and message of troubled waters saved by God's faith.

Thank you so very much for the 6 amazing stars, my friend! I'm so pleased you like my take on the picture. To me it spoke of God and how He will always be there. Bless you, you are really kind. :)Sandra xxx

This was absolutely fantastic. I thought it was a great twist to incorporate the sea-gulls into the poem and I agree they were very appropriate instead of the doves. It shows what faith and belief can do- it carries through the most trying of times. Great job Sandra, thanks.

Sandra, I'm glad you put thoughts of God and His messengers into
your picture this challenge. It was very well done. I do love that
last sentence ... As God will walk beside you in this life and then
beyond. Good take on the picture.

This is lovely. I liked the way you used sea gulls.

I just watched "Plymouth Adventure" and they were caught in an awful storm like the one you describe. Your poem was as vivid as watching a movie.

Oh, thank you, Yvonne!! What a lovely thing to say. I don't think I've seen that, I'll see if it's on again, or on catch up tv. I love the sea. Thank you so very much for the 6, my friend. :) Sandra xxx

Wonderful ending to a beautiful, uplifting poem. Love the arrival of the gulls, telling us and the crew all will be okay. :)
