Playing in Water
I used to enjoy as a child
playing in the water
I loved stomping in puddles
Walking in the surf
Jumping in swimming pools
I had no fear of the danger
the water could bring
until I was older
I got caught in the undertow
of a waterfall on a lazy river
churning me up and down a few times
before some unknown angel
reached i to rescue me
I still enjoy playing in the water
even though it can be dangerous
It is so refreshing to walk
in a summer rain shower
with my adult rubber boots on
to stomp in rain puddles
I still love running through the sprinklers
and getting squirted with a water hose
It sweetly invigorates me
body and soul
