Following
his call, the urging
the
calling of God deep within him
throwing
starfish back into the ocean
so
many starfish, miles of beach
saving
those he can, one at a time.
We
each walk that beach
the
world so vast, so lonely,
so
many do not know
the
indwelling of God’s Spirit,
the
message of Jesus Christ.
Gently
cast the starfish
back
into the living waters
saving
one at a time
accepting
the grace of Christ
the
ocean of God’s love.
