She finally was able to think.
The muffled sounds of being underwater were not too distracting.
…this time
But increasing pressure pressing against her cranium
The deeper she sinks still made her ears hurt.
Is Father disappointed that she can never stay afloat like he can?
She always thought so.
To her nothing mattered but just making it into the water
Even though she hated being wet but
It has always been different for him.
With his quick strokes and determination to stay on top.
But now that she can think, she has discovered
While peer up at his back as she descends with rapid pace.
That he has always acted as the lifeguard.
As his strong warm hand pulls her back up to the surface yet again.
