An Easter to Remember

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: April 19, 2009

A ship captain's answered prayer…

Much like Pilate did to Jesus,
pirates on the open sea
sentenced Captain Richard Phillips
to unjust indignity.

He was kidnapped, held for ransom.
Satan's minions laughed and cheered
while an anxious world prepared for
what might happen as we feared.

Doomed to die inside a lifeboat,
Captain Phillips bravely prayed.
Then the miracle we hoped for...
Life trumped death on Easter Day.
