Walked on water
For a single day

I know of a man
Who swam in a sea
For twenty years—
And did not get wet

So come back
When you get it right

The history of the man,
Remains forever lost.
Belief in him remains,
Some fingers tightly crossed,
Perhaps some souls are saved,
But who can count the cost?
You’ll never see the snow,
If you can't survive the frost.
