My father’s friend named Mike is a fisherman
He used to go to the sea early morning
When everyone still snoring and sleeping
He will escaped and slowly walk and run
After how many hours, before lunch
He will come home holding his bunch
Full of fish, big and small
Different colors, different kinds, different sizes
My friend Michael and I will clean the fishes
Some for cooking
Some for giving
Some for selling
My friend used to go to the market during afternoon
To sell the fish, his father’s caught
When he sold, he will come home with money
He will give it to his parents
And save some for his schooling
His father said: “fishing is not easy
You have to be patient
Pray that you might catch
Fishes knows whose net they are going
Fishes knows who are needy
As I pray to God, I pray to fish to come”
If I will not go fishing, my family will suffer
My son will stop studying
I don’t want to see that, he is our one and only child
My family will be hungry
I dont want to see them suffered, he added.
Fishing is not only a job but it is a dedication to God, I said.
Yes!its true his father said. Fishing is about a choice
It is about choosing the most and best for you and your family
And fishing is all about love
If you love God
He will give you the best more than you ask for, wait patiently
Fishing is the foundation of this family
My wife’s family is rich. Yet, she still chose me, she said:
“we will surpass as long as we stay, still and keep fishing,
And be a fisherman to God”
We can be richer than my family, he added.
Fishing is loving those people around
Not by catching quickly proud
But to wait patiently love
The best catch will come from God
