Determined To Live

I was sitting along the shady shores, deep in thoughts as this was my favorite spot wondering why life had been so stiff. The beach was calm with a light breeze, making the air feel so fresh. I watched my two sons playing in the shallow water and prayed that they would grow up to be great men. My pet Tommy was with me enjoying the evening he seemed restless and whispered something that I didn't understand. I smiled to assure him that it was well. Suddenly, screams filled the air I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't realize my boys were drowning and they cried for help. Oh God, how could they drown? could they die before they are rescued? my only source of joy in life. I cried, rushing to help them. In my mind there were so many thoughts but all I wanted, was my sons my only source of joy in life. I couldn't imagine that they can depart from me. how could they die as I watched? I was determined to get them back, alive.
