Comment from GE Parson
Hi Sister Pat, I like your opening statement "small fish in the white water streams of life"
That really describes my feelings about myself.
As I think you know, I am a retired Pastor, but I always felt like a small fish in the white water
streams of other Pastors with whom I ran. Thinking back on those years, It probably kept
me humble. Your friend, St. Jerry

Comment from Poetic Friend
Great, great poem, Patricia. Your testimony, in itself, is an indication that you can do all things through Christ, including inspiring others via your poetry.
Please let me know when your book has been published, I would love to purchase a copy.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written encouraging and uplifting poem. We can fir many years live daily without a purpose and it seems we are victims of things higher than us pressing us down until we find Jesus who lifts us up with Him.

Comment from judiverse
Not everyone can be a big fish. A small fish can accomplish a great deal. Just saying that we need to be realistic about what we can accomplish. I believe thinking you can do all things is a bit unrealistic. We may be able to do more than we think we can, but we can't always expect miracles. Good luck with your book. Keep us informed of its progress. judi

Comment from Susan Louise Gabriel
What a beautiful comparison! And it's so true - nearly all of us feel like a "small fish" swimming in the stream of life, fighting off big fish and just trying to survive. I love the way you ended the poem!
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Anne Johnston
You have expressed what we all feel at times, that we don't amount to very much in the big picture. Bur I love your words, "Then Jesus, made me understand that with Him I could do all things." What a great promise to stand on.

Your ultra-concise spiritual poem conveys a powerful message. To Jesus, there are no small and big "fish." Our souls are all equally important to
the Lord.
