Submerged

I know its true because it happened, you see!

When I was a young girl I awoke from my sleep

I ran to the front room in one giant leap.

Pulled open the curtains to let in the sun,

rubbing my eyes, I stood there stunned!

My home was completely submerged under the sea

and schools of fish swam about where my toys use to be!

Beautiful coral of every color,

replaced the landscape that was before.

Every type of sea life I had ever known

from the very smallest to the largest grown,

had now made my neighborhood their home!

The beauty and splendor was almost to much

My finger tips longed to reach out and touch

as if doing so would prove it all to be real.

As my head spun as fast as a roulette wheel

with thoughts of how I would survive!

In this environment I could not thrive,

there is no way I will remain alive!

I found myself racing back to my bed!

I jumped in and pulled my covers up over my head

I must have fallen fast asleep,

as I prayed to my Lord for my soul to keep!
