Strange Miracles - Inktober 2018 day 21

Strange Miracles 

Once upon a sinking boat,
There were believers of a martyr.
They were pilgrims,
They were searching,
They kept holy places in their heart.
Until, one day so dreary,
So well-travelled and weary,
When on the sea and sinking,
They made promises and prayers,
And in their panicked thinking they said:
“Give us your coins,
Give us your bread,
Give us this for Edmund!
Support our holy shrine at home,
We swear this boat will mend.”
They begged and begged, 
These pilgrims said that
Edmund would not let them sink,
This headless saint,
This sacred martyr,
Would save them from the brink.

These pilgrims made it to the shore,
Their pockets full,
Their fellows poor.
Their patron saint had seen them through,
He may have saved them,
And he may just save you.
