Sailboats

Painting and Verse by Abe V Rotor

Let the sailboats play in the wind
And water, let alone an old boat
At rest, sitting on rock like an old man,
Standing guard over the young, who too,
Shall someday play the same old game.

The first thing that conjured in my mind is the a "father and son" relationship wherein the father passes on his wisdom of life to his son. A simple yet poignant poem, indeed :)

The poem reminded me of Jesus' stories on the seas. As the wind blows hard, it is only Him who can calm it down and make the sailboat float and lead it back to the safe shore. Indeed, with the guidance of the Almighty, we will never wrong.
