Anyone have any fishing poems that I could read at my dads funeral

Less than one minute read time.

Just wondered if anyone out there knows of a poem that celebrates coarse fishing [UK] riverside or lakes, not fly fishing or trout or carp... Dad never one to go after them...

Something that is like a final fishing peg, reserved just for dad

I know it is a long shot - seems all the ones I find are american ones...

    Hi Jules,

    In case you missed my post on your 'gone fishing' thread - I'd be happy to oblige you with a poem. Visit http:/www.bobturnermemorialtrust.org.uk and send me a message via the Contact the Trust page.

    For the benefit of anyone else for whom fishing has a deeper meaning, here's a little poem I wrote in the first few months after my fiance passed away.

    Fisher of Men

    Beyond the clouds, beside a pool, an angel bides his time,

    So patient, pure and peaceful, he casts afar his line

    Baited with his love, enough for every one,

    He simply waits, waits and smiles beneath the endless sun.

    It's not the ones he catches - for these shall know his love,

    But those who slip away, not knowing that above

    Another world is waiting; those who seek shall find

    And sit beside this fisher man, and know true peace of mind.

    With loving thoughts for all of our angelic anglers,

    Sylvan Rose xx
