Treading Water Poem by Lauren Kjar

Sometimes we all just have to tread water
Keeping ourselves afloat
When directions aren't clear
And no one is near
Tread water and wait for the boat

Tides will turn like they always do
Waves will continue to crash
If you're swept out to sea
Don't try to break free
Tread water, stay still and relax

Our lives flow like the oceans
With strength you can't ignore
Sometimes it's best
To just stop and rest
Until you can see the shore
