I posted this poem last year but in light of the daily death tolls drubbing on our minds; I thought that maybe this little verse will help as you face yours.

Two Men in Two Storms

Two men went down to the sea one day

Paul in chains and Jonah running away

“I need to lie down” was all Jonah could say

So he slept through the storm

When he should have prayed

 

But prisoner Paul cried to God in his boat

Till an angel came down with a message of hope

Then with joy he encouraged his friends

Saying Jesus would keep them all safe in the end

 

It took a big fish to get Jonah to go

Tell others of mercy and God’s love for the world

But our friend Saint Paul shows us the right way

That when God sends the storm we must trust and obey!
