WHO AM I TO YOU

RSS

By Maxine Silva

Who am I to you? I am the anchor, holding your ship in tow, as you bob upon the open seas. I am the tethers that hold you safe in harbour. I am the wind in your unfurled sails, as you head out into uncharted waters. I am the creak beneath your feet, as you pace the ship’s deck. I am the timbre of the waves, as they splash against the hull. I am the seagull’s cry, as she follows you out to sea. I am the dolphin’s fin, as sign of your safe passage. I am the Sun peeping over the horizon, as you set sail. I am the Moon and the Stars on which you set your course. I am the duty watchman at the helm, as you are stowed comfortably below. I batten down the hatches when the going gets rough. For should you slip over the side – I am the Life preserver cast to you. I am your port and starboard sides, as you adjust your celestial globe to your destination. Can I help it, if God has placed me here? I think not…….. And when your journey is done, I am the One to welcome You Home at the Shore.
