The Hunter
A hunter thinks and
breathes hunting.
His house is decorated with
antlers, photographs,
taxidermy
reminding him of his
successes.
He talks shop with other
hunters—
favorite places,
techniques, game.
He endures ridicule from
nonhunters
who don’t understand.
He invests in rifles,
ammunition,
licenses, clothing,
camping gear.
He takes time off for
his expeditions.
He rises before the sun.
He tramps the woods in
all weather.
He may not be able to
see his prey,
but he knows the signs.
He sits in silence and
waits.
to flush out their quarry.
He rejoices in the game
he gets,
and shares his prize
with others.
Lord, may I be more like
the hunter
in dedication,
discipline, patience
passion, sacrifice, celebration
when seeking You.
