The Pool

for i was by the pool 
 for i was the only fool 

 you asked me if i wanted to be healed
 i gave you an excuse ,because that was 
 how i feel

 nobody ever talked to me 
 let alone help, you see

 for i did not even know your name
 or hear of the miracles you proclaim 

 all you said was pick up your mat 
 the look in your eyes was that 

 is i felt myself being healed from head to toe
 excited i heard you say one more thing

 go and sin no more
