Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

She hung on the ladder’s rails
unwilling to leave their safety
out into the lake,
even in my arms

Slowly she gained confidence
grew bolder, little by little

Later, trumpeting triumph
she was swimming free
smiling, splashing, proud of herself
conquering her fears
