Learning to float*

David Littlefield Horn

"Lean back on the water
and take a deep breath,"
says the lifeguard.
"No way!"
you say.
"I'll drown!"

But when he supports you,
you rest on his arms
and find water's
enough
to hold
you up.

No fear can prevent you
from resting on prayer
when heartaches test
your trust
in God's
allness.

With deep inspiration
you lean on His care,
and find Love is
enough
to hold
you up.

* See Retrospection and Introspection by Mary Baker Eddy, 73:9–11.
