Book Cover & Preview Text
Against the Current Water rushes over me Going against the current I gain an inch, I lose a yard My energy is almost spent I could let go and be free I wish it wouldn’t be so hard I grab a rock, I gasp for air Water running through my hair Sliding off, but I swim strong It’s been going on so long Help me breathe, help me reach Help me reach the other side Otherwise, I’ll lie on the beach Washed ashore by the rising tide
