Sink Or Swim

I fight to keep my head above the waves. Perhaps I should have stayed inside the boat. But I believed them when they said, “He saves…” And now I see I was not built to float. If water is a metaphor for life, I’m not quite sure the lesson I should learn. I so don’t want to drown in all this strife. The storm, it seems, does not share my concern. I cry out, Lord! Please take my outstretched hand! I’m overwhelmed by all that has occurred. In faith I’d leaped away from all I planned And now all of my hopes have become blurred. A test of my belief and faith in Him. I fear, for me, it’s only sink or swim.
