Ladyfingers soft and sweet.
..
Once I was an Olympic swimmer
Until someone’s car robbed my feet
Now I’m carried to shallow water
Struggling to tread in this pool deep
..
Baby steps are counted by friends
After years these waters become so clear
I can see from the pools end
Though swimming there takes me years
..
Baby steps with no feet
Eyes pool as they weep
Lady fingers soft and sweet
Try picking me up, from my heap
..
In a pool that’s just too deep
