High Tide

A poem about a sailor... When do motives matter? How does someone receive forgiveness? PLEASE READ & REVIEW :)

On a day when the tides were high, 

Waves violently rocked a ship

On this boat, a sailor stood

Tears welled up in his eye

Calling out to the wind 

Begging to the lord above

"I've had enough

Please leave me be

Please forgive my sins,

I did them all for love"

Said storm raged on for several minutes

And after quite a time

A messenger from God did visit

A solemn look upon its face

The sailor had told a lie

Forgiveness can not be given

For repentance not truly meant

God can't be tricked to give out grace

The sailor then faced his fate
