Marco

Sometimes I feel lost and unsure

Marco

The water feels deep

Marco

He calls out from his darkness

Marco

I want to get away - I want to be near

Marco

He moves closer

Marco

I’m excited to be next to him

Marco

I duck under the water to escape

Marco

His strong arms reach out

Marco

The water swirls around us

Marco

I need to swim away - I need to be caught

Marco

One last lunge

Marco

Now I’m it

Safely caught and free
