A stranded sailor

SCANNING HORIZON TO HORIZON IN THE HOPE OF GOD’S NON EXISTANT PITY.
I WAS HAGGARD AND LEFT UNCARED ON THE BRINK OF INSANITY.

I CLUNG ON TO A FLOATING PLANK WAITING FOR THE FATEFULL WAVE
WHICH WOULD NOT GIVE A SECOND THOUGHT TO GIVE ME A WATERY GRAVE.

SOAKING IN THE WATER FOR HOURS TOGETHER,
DESPAIR AT THE STATE OF MY LIFE HAD SET.

MY MIND WITH A DILEMMA BEGAN TO FRET,
LIFE OR DEATH, I DID NOT KNOW AGAINST WHICH ONE TO BET.

I RESTRAINED FROM LEAVING THE PLANK WHICH WOULD END ALL MY PAINS,
FOR A LITTLE VOICE SAID IN MY MIND”PAPA LOOK AT ME FLY MY PLANE”

WHEN MY HOPE BEGAN TO WANE AND WILT
I SAW A SHIP SAILNG BY.
I MUSTERED MY STRENGHT AND SWAM TO IT.
‘I AM SAVED, I AM SAVED’ SHOUTED I, IN MY MIND.

SAFE ON THE DECK I THINK OF THE VOWS
I MADE DURING MY WOES DURING MY TIMES OF SORROW,
THEY GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO DEAL THE ORDEAL!
AND THE RESOLUTIONS I MADE, I WILL SURELY FULFILL.
