THE FISHERMAN

THE FISHERMAN



As waves crash around him

he has scarcely a fear.

This is what he's use to

he's done it for years.



This hard fought existance,

is all he has known,

with his body of muscles,

and nerves made of stone.



The fisherman's world

is a life without rest,

he gives it his all,

yes, he gives it his best.



He goes out each morning

to put food on the table

he'll do it a lifetime

that is, if he's able.



The beauty of water,

the scents of the sea,

far out on the ocean

a fishermans free.

I was told once that if your job is something you love then u never work a day in your life! this is an example of that!!! A person who loves what they do is someone who will be free from regret
