"Lord, save me."
Like Peter, I cry—
feeling forsaken,
beaten by waves (of failure)
discouraged,
down.
But Jesus was there,
reaching Peter
with outstretched arm
and simple query (tender but firm):
"Wherefore . . .
doubt?"
And Christ, Truth, is here,
reaching me
with outstretched arm
and simple response (quelling fear):
Doubt not—
come!
