To The Boat And Back

Today was unusual for me

Once I got in I felt I had owned the sea

The Catamaran boat for days had been out of my reach

Had been compelling other good swimmers at the beach

Everyday they swam out and some would touch it

But I could only watch their adventurous habit

Observe from the distance as they were not scared

And like little dots in the water they bobbed and disappeared

Today I walked 300 paces bristly before I went in

And the water was warmer than usual, I continued exercising

Noticed I still had energy, lots to spare

Did warm up laps, skipped, punches and today, right there

Braved my target and was off to the Catamaran

Arriving at the boat I touched it and told the man

Can’t say I didn’t, I finally did, and they thought I would never reach

Kept hoping and today I did it, the Catamaran was docked on the beach
