Missed the Boat: Faith Poetry About Divine Timing
This piece of faith poetry explores the universal feeling of missed opportunities and finding hope in God’s perfect timing.
I received several responses from my FROG Blog post, “Christian Writing Prompts for Growth.” A reader encouraged me to share another answer from my “Musings and Fusings” writing prompt book.
This one comes from, “Write a free verse that includes the idiom: miss the boat.”
Have I missed the boat?
Will my ship come in?
Would I know my ship if I saw it?
Sometimes I question if I’ve missed the boat,
At times, I feel tossed upon the rocks.
Sharp edges, sand in my britches.
Dry. Parched.
Gulping. Casting lures. Casting nets.
Wading. Waiting.
When I feel like jumping ship,
I remember my Life Preserver.
He won’t let me miss His boat.
In His protective harbor,
Christina
