The Boat
Based on this painting by John Tunley
The tranquil water illustrates
The passing of a storm
The boat tells its story
The journey life’s sojourn
The picture is of stillness
The ocean calm serene
The clouds they look over
The sea that has no end
The boat is not perfect
The hull in need of work
The boat it seeks calm waters
The sand its final rest
The boat is at its journeys end
The boat has had its day
The boat seeks its place in heaven
The boat no longer sways
The people who have rowed her
The journey has an end
The resting place is near the shore
The waves they come and end
The boat will sail in heaven
The people will row on
The horizon meets the sunset
The work of God is done
