Deep Waves

It’s the deep waves of life that teach us to be better swimmers.”
~ Karen Casey

In over my head. Swimming against the current.
Why should I fight the fight? I’m old, tired,
impaired, at least temporarily, but my body will never be younger.
Why keep trying? Why take the risk? Why dare?
Because I’m not content to sit in a recliner another
twenty-five years. I still have achievements awaiting my efforts,
knowledge to pass on, words to share.
I’ve lessons to learn and I’m ready to pass new mile markers,
so God, give me courage to dare the waves, to dare to try, to trust your guidance.
