Ten boats rafted together,
Wine time, no mowing the lawn,
Twenty fast friends forever,
Ready for challenges of next dawn!

Her hands, I see, are sweetly crafted
My hands, her hair, a river rafted
Or ruby coasts on which I sail
The shore, her face - sublime detail
With sand, so white, so pure, and smooth
Sifting as my fingers move
Her face, her heart, a new frontier
My heart, full sail, is drawing near...

We tore out this hell and sank this English ship
We rafted a life till the Americas ran us dry
A sandy engagement, laughter, our world to tip
Our beats, our waves to sounds ugliest cry
In plunged your thunder to our words your stip
To have us quiet, browbeat, safe and nigh 
Old masters married our merriment to desolation
Boys gauged, girls versed, and learned a false elation...

I’ve never climbed a mountain
Or gone up in a balloon
And if I never scuba dive,
Well, that will be too soon.

I’ve never rafted rapids,
Para-sailed or water-skied
And as for jumping off a cliff,
I just don’t see the need.

I’ve not trekked in the arctic
Or safaried with a guide
And if I said I wasn’t scared
Of all these things, I lied.

I marvel at adventurers;
They’re made of stronger stuff.
To read about or watch their exploits
Is, to me, enough.

Pocketfuls of my pressing prayers have known
Answers though responses never arrived by
Thursday as my anxious anguish hoped, coming
Instead at a more ideal time than I had ever
Envisioned for my prayer depth could not answers
Name as ideally as Heaven's awesome blessings,
Crafted unique for me by omnipotent love to
Effectively teach patience is timed on faith's clock
