Lifeguard

Drowning,

Now that everyone's let go,

Slipped down their fingertips,

No longer grasped by our relationship, 

Sinking. 

Who would come and save me?

I sunk deep in disappointment, 

From every relationship that I tried, 

To build. 

It became ever clear, 

There was no one there, 

Just the beaming sunlight in the sky

Surrounded by the reality of this abyss, 

Filled with sadness,

Tears. 

Then I saw Him, 

He didn't swim out to save me,

Majestically, 

He walked,

Patiently,

With Grace

On water

To save me. 

Thank you, Lord.
