I enjoyed your poem as I always do all that you post. But most of all on this one, I enjoyed that comments afterward. Catching fish is secondary to the time spend with family and the chance to think and take it all in. Thanks for sharing.

    I do love those long trips (10-12 hours). Everyone has plenty of time to relax and get in the groove of being on the dock, drop masks they may have put up, and just be family. It's awesome!
    Thank you again, my friend, and many blessings,
    Deb

I like the repetition of the first stanza at the end, as it reinforces the rest afforded by the calm waves and the reduction of stress by the sport of fishing. Lovely photo invites the reader in. I especially like the second stanza, as God's mercy gives great rest. Blessings. Carol

Our girls were always part of what we did when growing, I was never a fisherman, but we collectively went on road trips, with a caravan on the back we saw a huge part of what we later, was play our gospel music in churches and streets and hall throughout the land. And once overseas in Britain and Germany, Then they married, and well, the rest is history, but we gave them a firm foundation, as you did, it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you do it together. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

    Thank you, sweet Roy And thank you for sharing. I feel the pull to travel and sing. I told a friend, and added, "But I'm 63 now, almost 64." She looked at me with a strange little smile and said, "Sarah laughed." Yup, that old gal thought she was too old for God's plan for her. So now, my phrase of the year(s) is 'Sarah laughed'. I can't wait to see what God has in store!
    Thanks for all and blessings,

    Trust me, God may have more for you than you can imagine, I?m having trouble fitting everything in, God wants fullgrown children, able to know Him better than you?ve ever known, He enjoys us more relating to Him. My life is more expansive now than it?s ever been, not in the same way it was, I get the servanthood bit now, humbling ourself under the mighty hand of God, welcome to the family business.

I love your wonderful rhyming poem that Chronicles the joy of family time out on a lake catching fish. I also like your authors note that indicates the best part is not just catching up the fish but it is the living of the family life. I'm not indicating that there was a problem or a need for a tweak. I'm just pointing out something that might possibly have been unintentional: You can rest hee (here), there is no doubt...

    It WAS a goof! Thanks, Doc!
    I get so tickled at my hubby and oldest girl. They're ALWAYS in competition! If ANYONE catches a fish, my hubby will call down the dock, "Stef! That's 2 for Mom (or whoever). Where are you?" Either she pops back that she's ahead or makes some funny comment about WHY she's behind. The best is when she draws ahead of her dad. :)
    Thanks for the catch (no pun intended) and the kind words.
    Blessings,
    Deb
