Poem: Watertight Integrity


Watertight Integrity
By  J. Brad Chapman

As we ply life’s ocean deep, on seas rough and tempest tossed,
there are rules that sailors keep, to protect from harm and loss.

And one rule that sailors prize, on their quest to cross the sea,
is to keep hatches dogged tight, for Watertight Integrity.

A loose or faulty seal, in rough seas will leak and drip,
over time the void fills up, then the weight will sink the ship.

So, in men, the same is true, if allowed themselves to lie,
their poor souls will fill with guile, and will cause their slow demise.
So . . ..
Keep your virtues watertight; don’t let sin submerge your soul,
For Watertight Integrity, will buoy you up . . . . .

It’s Flood Control.
