The Pond Skater
by Marcia N. Lynch
“The Pond Skater” read by Marcia N. Lynch.
I cannot wear a backpack
The weight would sink me down
A hungry fish could eat me
Before I even drowned.
So, take my buggy burdens, LORD
And carry them for me
So I can walk on water
Just like Jesus on the sea.
With slender legs of faith, I’ll scoot
Upon the thin meniscus
Reminding all the human folk
Of God, Who walked here with us.
