The Fisherman has been To tell of His way to catch To fill up that empty net When they have tried every direction Saying catching these fish are hopeless That the boat would overflow With a never before seen fish Of all the abundance shown Are to reel in that big one That it might be found Oh how he taught which line to use To tie the best knot not to break Which kind of pole for different fish Which bait for different waters To even put the bait on your hook That you might have a chance If not wanting to get those hands dirty He told one of the weather forecast That the wind and waters would be calm His boat is sturdy not to sink in any weather If the waves come they are rejected That one might feel the fish when it bites Oh this fisherman knows these waters And which fish to keep and throw away He has been available for all to see And will take one out for free In hope to show His ways That one might be ready When it's their time to fish

The disciples of Jesus labored in vain to catch fish. Every time they brough the net to shore, they found the net empty. But when they cast the net as Jesus had directed them, they got so much of fish that they found it hard to pull the net out of water. When we do as Jesus directs, we are sure to get ample rewards. Great poem. Stephan !
