Writer’s Quote Wednesday Writing Challenge Theme-“Miracle” #WQWWC

When I was younger, say early 20s, we took my brother to the airport to join his ship. It was his first job as a Marine Engineer and we were all happy for him. My father drove us all back home. My mother sat in the passenger’s seat and the three children sat in the back. I was on the right hand side of the car. We were in Dapitan and the barrier for the train went down. Suddenly my father couldn’t break the car. We were shouting, thinking we won’t be able to stop and we’d drive through the barrier. That our whole family would die and my brother would come home to an empty house. I was praying, I thought that was the end. I haven’t even started my life yet. Luckily, a miracle happened and my father was able to stop the car. We were all in shock but very grateful.

on a stormy night
fishermen tried to catch fish
brave men of the sea

brave men of the sea
so their families can eat
tough income to earn

tough income to earn
love of fishing is vital
miracle from sea
