Simon’s Apprehension - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

In the words of Simon
the one who would become the rock
fear in his presence
knowing he was a sinful man

Kneeling before the master
in his own boat
trying to send away the savior
not feeling worthy at all

But Christ spoke in his compassion
mercy, and a call
to leave his nets,
his life by the shore
to follow his loving call
