Analysis of The Devotion of Boatman
Boatman, you are saving the lives of others,
defying the forthcoming perils.
Do you know,
Your life is precious to your wife, sons and brothers?
Boatman, you firmly hold the rudder
to save the passengers from the turbulent waves.
Do you know
who will save your family from suffer?
Boatman, you are God in disguise.
So you are the savior of thousands of lives.
None can compare with your noble life,
however, he might be wise.
When you cross the river after longtime fatigues.
Every drop of your perspiration
evaluates your utmost effort
to provide assurances every Meeks.
Boatman, go haste at home.
Your wife, kindred waiting for you.
Provide them love, assurance
from your soft bosom.
I know your devotion.
You take risk of your life.
Let me pray, after death
Your soul can get salvation.
