Drowning

If you're surrounded by water, Can anyone see you cry? If your arms are flailing, Will people think you are trying to fly? If you begin to scream, Will people simply sigh? If you are surrounded by water, When will people notice you die?

Sad write. I know of three members of the same family who all drowned. Two of them went to save the daughter and three lives were lost. Many tried to help but the sea was unforgiving that day.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope they were able to find some peace.
