Fisherman's Prayer
I pray that I may live to fish
until my dying day
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray:
When in the Lord’s great landing net
and peacefully asleep
That in his mercy
I be judged big enough to keep.

Nice Jack. I can honestly say I've never heard or seen that poem before. Short and to the point. Merry Christmas and ditto on the new year.

We have that hanging in the meeting room at my fishing club. From the look of it it's been there since it founding, somewhere around 1940.

I don't think I want to erase 2020. Look at all the new friends I have now. 🥰🥰

You're right FT, I too appreciate the wonderful friends I've made here this year. But you have to admit, that's one of the very few bright spots in a pretty dark year. Hoping for more brightness, and less darkness in 2021.
Merry Christmas and a Happier New Year buddy.
