The Anchor
It's All In
" The Anchor "
By Tom Wright
8/1/00
For so long,
many travel iniquitous waters under billowed sails.
Tumultuous waves are ever present,
and they take on water.
Many, journey into the corners of each day's unfamiliar,
desirous of a calm sea while posing the question,
does hope exist?
Are there no untroubled harbors from the anxieties of life?
What must they do to keep their vessel upright
and not adrift?
The answer is quite apparent and lies in The Anchor,
rather than in our adroitness.
Like another Jonah, our life must be the offering.
