This is a poem that I wrote on May 3rd, 2000. I wrote it after reading an article in the magazine PROFESSIONAL MARINER. The article was called "THE BILGE PUMP : A LIFESAVER".
The similarity between a bilge pump and the Savior came to me in the words of this poem.
(Click on the poem to enlarge it for reading.)
This is the picture that accompanied the article.
I believe that the Savior gave His life for each one of us.
I believe that if we follow His precepts, we can live with Him again.
