S

Above water

Above water
I fall back one step
But I move closer two steps
I might lose the race
But I will keep pace

I roll down the hill
But I reach the top faster
I might not climb well
But I'm feeling swell

I dropped the grocery bag
But the items are still safe
I might not have a grip
But I surely will not slip

I broke the egg it splattered
But I have another one
I might not be strong
But I sure won't go wrong

I didn't get the answer right
But it was a good question
I may not be too smart
Though I try with all my heart

I swore I wouldn't attend
But there I sit at center
I might not be very cool
But you will be my fuel

I promised I would forget
Repeating myself each day
Your comment has purged
Into my head and merged

I told them I didn't want any
But I now have three dozen
I try my best to ignore that
So I'm still tipping my hat
