Response April 2022 PAD challenge 25-3

 Bobbing in the Ocean

 

It surprised me

when my sister agreed

to come out into the ocean

with me to bob in the waves.

 

We inched out carefully.

I went out further

and allowed the waves

to lift me as they came in.

 

Sis stood and let them hit her.

She headed back to shore.

I went with her to help,

but we were both knocked down.

 

She went out and I went back

bobbing in the gentle waves,

not knowing her leg was scraped

and bleeding from her fall.

 

But it wasn’t too bad.

I felt glad I had faced my fears.

And she just hoped

we wouldn’t appear on Facebook.
