The Fisherman’s Prayer If someone should ask for me, tell them Heaven is where I’ll be. I’ve finished all my chores, and now I fish on Heaven’s shores. The view is grand, and the fishing is great, But I yearn for you as I wait. I’ll save a spot on the river bend For all those I call family and friends. But for now, head out to sea, And make a cast in memory to all the good times that we had. And if the fish no longer bite Or seem no longer worth the fight, It’s just me you’re missing. Don’t worry. Be happy. I’ve only gone fishing.
