Born Again

The water ripples,
As he climbed out of his wheelchair
As his father supported him.

32 and the most courageous person
I have ever known.
Deathly afraid of the water.

He didn't have to do this,
But he needed to be born-
From the rise from the water

Consciously scared,
A voice from his father
"Are you sure about this?"

A determined voice:
"I need to dad"
A body immersed,

The spirit descends
On the small group watching.

We all swore we saw
An angel rise from the water
In his father's arms
