The Sea Won'T Float Me

all will float upon the mighty sea even an ship but won’t float me ducks can ride upon the gentle swells but it won’t take me , only its shells driftwood resting upon the shore eagles heading up to soar stars are out and seem to float I could sail under if I had a boat. The ark carried the animals across the sea but it won’t take mercy upon me whales and seals marvel the buoyancy but to me the sea shows no leniency. the winds also have turned me down can’t float on them so I would drown no matter what I try to do I fail if I had wings I could surf and sail. what is it with me that the sea does not like if I could walk on water, I could take a hike more than ever I want to lie upon the sea but never will it take just me
