Poems of Lighthouse Bob

Open Vessel #318



Open Vessel


Once stumbled on a vessel tossed
Upon the brazen sea
Of people worn and people lost
With souls like you and me
A vessel with a message shown
A message stripped and bare
A message that stood all alone
Which no one could compare
I thought it most unusual
Most special yet most odd
That something viewed as usual
Could intervene with God
Who brought forth such fulfillment sought
By royalty and kings
Though certainly would not be bought
By monetary means
I found an open ventricle
A message from the heart
A message that was integral
To every piece and part
When found an open vessel tossed
Upon the brazen sea
With message shown that from the cross
Christ shed his blood for me.

God bless,
Lighthouse Bob
