Another Catch Of Fish Poem by Royston Nella

All through the dark night we were toiling there
and as dawn rose we looked on in despair.
Then a voice called aloud from the sea shore
'On the other side you will catch much more.'

There on the other side we filled our net.
So many fish I will never forget.
Then, 'It is the Lord, ' I heard someone say.
So I leapt out of the boat straight away.

To be close to You was my one desire
so I swam to join You there by the fire.
Then the others joined with us at the meal
Their great wonder unable to conceal

Then three times You asked me if I loved You,
and three times I said 'Lord, You know I do.'
And I thought as we dined by the sea shore
'I will not keep my distance any more.'
