The Mariner's Question


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.

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.
