Message In A Bottle
Once I walked upon the shore
Found a bottle floating o’er
Picked it up and looked within
Saw a paper, brown and thin.
Words of hope and life revealed
Broken heart that now is healed
Author still unknown to me
“Kindness is the long lost key
Share with one a heavy load
Help one walk the bitter road
Take a drink of someone’s grief
Walk a mile without relief
Share with them their joy and tear
Comfort them in time of fear
From the Lord we should not swerve
Peace at heart is when we serve”
Note replaced and thrown to sea
Bottle drifts away from me
Here forbid the act to end
Thankfully, I’ll gladly send
Words of hope drift to a friend
Perhaps broken hearts to mend
