The Fisherman

He casts his net in cool, deep water, Intent on things below. Silently I watch him work, But he will never know. The sun gleams off his sun bronzed back. His muscles glisten, shine; As sweat and water mingle, Emphasize each line. He comes out here most every day, Fishing from a skiff. Bare but for some faded shorts, He gives my heart a lift.

Thank you so much Connie. Just remembering someone I used to watch from the shore. We never met but I watched him fish almost every day that summer. God Bless, JB
