One More Lesson – v2


The empty disciples
after the resurrection
filled with new hope
but falling to old tasks
back in their old ways

Experienced fishermen
out on familiar waters
the same method
and the same result

An empty hold, no cargo
nets cast returning no fish

One more lesson
shared by the Teacher -
Cast your net on the other side
and reap the reward

Follow the Master
go where He leads you
out on the waters,
out into the world

Go to share with them
His holy message;
we are to fish
from other shores
