Swimmer

Family and friends stand on the shore

Watching as she flounders-Flailing legs and arms

Cause white water foam that ripples to forever

(No one had thought to give swimming lessons)

Discussions ensue among those on shore

Will she sink or swim, how does she look?

Drifting farther from all, she never calls out

Exhausted she floats, beginning to sort it all out

Those on shore soon tire and leave the scene

Cheap talk and drama, all so sure of themselves

They know all the answers, why couldn’t she see

But as they all go, she floats with ease through the sea
