| He played about on the beach, | |
| As I pondered our grief. | |
| Frolicking as the water pulled at his feet; | |
| He laughed and dug his toes into the sand. |
| He was praying on the ground. | |
| I gave a frown as the sky came down, | |
| I was blinded by the sound. | |
| Defiantly, I chose to grow. | |
| And I didn't realize it | |
| But the child was lost in the undertow. |
