He walked in shallow water as he was afraid to walk in any farther.
For he knew there was sharks out there and he knew they were out there.
And he just couldn’t let let them get him for he had so much to live for.
He never asked for this fear and he knew that one day he would have to break it.
If he ever wanted to do more he knew the shallow water wasn’t where he was meant to still.
