Impetuous Peter,
you were buoyed up for a time by your little faith.
Now reach out to us of even smaller faith,
pull us into the boat,
take us to shore,
light a fire to warm our sodden souls
and share your night’s catch with us.
Tell us about the time you saw
your friend with Moses and Elijah
And you knew that the Father
had kept his ancient promise.
Buoy up our faith.
Teach us your impetuous patience.

Dear Professor Groppe,
I only want to say thank you for this strong, beautiful poem. I will return to it.
My best to you and to your work,
