New rush waves race reforming shores
Different patterned each fresh wash
Ebb and flow re-coaxing change
unfolding swift paced seasons new
Old flowing histories glow re-foamed
To bubble-froth delights and times
old rugged boat heaves launching out
T’wards horizon’s distant stretch
Old mended nets splash cast again
Uncertain now the promise catch
the men await largesse from sea
they will return with gratitude
We carry forward all the old
Weather-worn enriched by toil
challenge crusted tempered lives
full flowered through trough and crest of days
each battle fought with common dare
unscathed not still strong survived
new faith dreams beckon us ahead
we trust new winds and water depths
we trust old hearts and habits learned
our lives in ever caring hands.
for all that has been: gratitude
for all that will be: “YES!” again!
