Oh, harsh sea, easy your waters on me,
be kind to the messager of seas.
Do not swallow me with your abundant waters,
but let me float, so my message shall be safe.
Have mercy for me, and if not for me then for
the soul of the writers of my messages.
Do not clash me against your stones,
for my glass body shall not abide such casulties.
No, let no harm come to me, nor the message I carry within,
for tears have been shed into this message,
and if love does not find it,
great sarrow is sure to fallow.
I beg you, oh great sea, have pity on the glass messanger.

I am actually quite impressed and surprised by how many chose this option to write about. I gotta say that title... that is a perfect way to describe a message in a bottle.
Though the flow was a bit choppy I can't deny.. I did like this. Thank you for entering, good luck.
