Why I 'Fish'
by DeboraDyess
|
I wet a line one time in my life before I married. But I married a fisherman and raised a couple of kids who are fanatics about the sport. They go to catch fish and measure the trip's successio on the number in the bucket at night's end, along with laughter, chatter, and photos taken. (Of course, the photos are of the proud fisherperson and their catch!)
But for me... This is why I fish. It's my chance to participate in the family fun and competition (which I never win), but it's mostly about taking time to notice the miracles all around me.
The first stanza is repeated at the end intentionally.
