You are the sail from masts unfurled, <br />That forward moves my bow. <br />You are the Captain of my ship, <br />Who points me where and how. <br /> <br />You are my pilot ably strong, <br />Who stands firm at the wheel. <br />I will not question where you lead, <br />For it’s you who rights my keel. <br /> <br />You are my mighty anchor, <br />Who holds me firm in place. <br />I’ll feel no fear in storm tossed seas, <br />For I see none in your face. <br /> <br />You are the shoreline kept in view <br />Just furlongs from my stern. <br />Though far from home for many days <br />It’s to you I shall return! <br /> <br />I cast my nets out the opposite side <br />Though empty they have returned. <br />I always hasten to heed your calls, <br />It’s a lesson that I have learned. <br /> <br />The nets return full every time, <br />That I hearken unto your call. <br />You are the Pilot within my heart, <br />The Master who’s All in All!<br /><br />Robert Edgar Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-heart-s-pilot/
