Out and Safe
Miraculous is how it seemed
That they escaped alive,
Those 12 boys and their coach,
Who many thought would not survive.
For 18 days they languished
In a cave beneath the ground
With raging waters rising near
The place where they were found.
The Navy Seals are credited
With rescuing the team,
Reversing parents’ nightmares
Into one amazing dream.
The world held its collective breath
While all this was transcending
And let out whoops of great relief
To hear the happy ending.
