Sir Francis Drake was a privateer, a pirate for all practical purposes, for a great portion of his life.

This poem was shared today at the Celtic Festival in Dayton, Ohio at the Gaelic Mass – so inspiring, one you just can’t walk away and forget. The priest said it was written by a pirate, but I’ve seen credit to Sir Frances Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh when looking it up online. I wonder who it really was written by? No matter, very thought-provoking.

Yes, the poem says it beautifully. We having been looking in the wrong direction…way too long in our beloved country. If we are to save her spirit, we must raise our sails and catch a fresh gust and valiantly head into the future…ready to face the challenges with eyes wide open!! We can’t just cave in because of this vile and dangerous financial calm which seeks to suck the marrow out of the life blood of this country (our God given entrepreneurial spirit). We must reinvent ourselves and make way for our children’s future too!

What a fitting prayer. What a great reminder that only in our discomfort can we grow to our potential.
