Look To Me

The water swirls in around me
I fight
But still I sink.
Pictures of sadness, distress and loss
Flood my mind.
The water grows deeper and darker.
Suddenly a glint of light!
I grasp at the fond memory
It grows an develops,
Becomes lighter and then…
It’s gone.
Tired and exhausted, I sink.
As darkness closes in around me
I look desperately to the Son
Who lifts me out of the troubled waters
And carries me safely to shore.
Sonlight raining down upon my face
The ocean whispers
“Look to me.”
