Wheel Poem by Aldo Kraas

You took my hands of the wheel of the boat that I was navigating
Because you knew that I couldn’t navigate that boat very well
And believe me when I say that it is a hard job to navigate a ship
Because it is not like driving a car
But anyway I am happy that you are navigating the ship now
After I had navigated the ship for two hours
God I am so happy that you are the captain of this ship
And not me anymore
Because you do a better job than me navigating this ship
That we are sailing on
Through the rough waters of the world
In order to discover the new world
And baptize together the people of the world
In this living waters
That will be our holy waters
That we will use to baptize the people
We know that the people must be waiting for our arrival
All over the world
In the living waters
In another hour or so
It will get dark
And it will be time to dock the ship for the night
So that we can sleep for the night
