Chapter 530
Swimming
When we dip our foot in life's water
It may lead to joy and happiness
Or it may lead to brutal slaughter
Leaving behind nothing but sadness
We all take the plunge sooner or later
Do we drown or come up swimming
We may be filled with ecstasy
Or left with our head spinning
It is not about how far we can sink
It is about how fast we get back up
To hold our head high and stand tall
Life offers more than a half empty cup
If we see someone flounder
We know the right thing to do
Remember they are a person too
What if that person was you
Life or another may push one off
Into the proverbial deep end
Remember in reality there is one
On which you can always depend
Nobody
