Mistaken
January 17, 2014
My friends beckoned me, “We’ll teach you to swim.”
I shook my head “No,” I thought, “I will truly drown.”
So I lived through my books on the stable, safe ground.
“Come,” said my family, “We’ll teach you how to fly.”
No, I proclaimed, I will surely fall
So I sat with my booked life and politely curse them all
“Come” He said, “I will show you what love is”
No, I cried, my heart shall surely break
But I trusted him anyway
And that was my Mistake
