The Walk

I had started on the sidewalk
Until suddenly it came to an end
I had reached the hard part of town
And now I was on the grass

I continued on the grass
Until I came to the edge of the water
It seemed calm and I could swim
So I took a step and continued.

I swam for miles, as tired as I was
Until the waters picked up pace
And I could barely stay afloat
So I treaded even harder.

I almost drowned countless times
Until I saw him walk up to me
It seemed to be a miracle
As he reached down for my hand

He pulled me up out of the water
Until I was standing on the waves
He begged for me to trust him
And together we walked across the water

We’re waiting to reach the shore
We’ve been walking on this water long enough.
I’ve learned to trust him completely
I’ve learned to walk on the water.
