Fisherman (Co-Written With Doris Culverhouse)

Swimming, life carefree
Net tightens around the school
Deliverance, grace

May your hook always be cast
Where you least expect fish caught

Synergism, save
These lost fish, grateful intent 
Catch and release, Life

Responsible now
Freedom, new life in warm water
Breach, spout words, joy, sing

School of life, protective school
Numbers rise with the right bait

Bait, love, nuturance
Guide... North Star...The leader Home
Reward eternal life

May we PLEASE have the pleasure of another co-write from the mother and daughter team?... Think I'll go fishin' next weekend! (Probably won't even get a nibble, but who cares?) - Tim

You make us long for fishing season, Sara and Doris! Indeed, "catch and release" is the way to go if you're not going to eat your catch. You remind me of dreams in which I'm a fish trying to guide the others away from the hooks and nets. We take conservation of our marine resources very seriously here in Florida and I like the way you compare the fish's struggles to those encountered by humans. Well done, Dynamic Duo! Love, Carolyn

Good cooperative write, Sara! You both are a good team. Hope I'm feeling better tomorrow as I had a long session at the dentist's today. Took some pain killer, but did not help very much. Tomorrow will be a cat exhibit here which I will visit. Wishing you a nice weekend and thank you for your comments...Gert
