I saw her at the edge of the water
Where the waves crash then roll out smooth.
She was dipping in, backing out, unsure of the powerful sea.

I saw him looking back at her.
Checking to see
If she could do it on her own.

I saw him rush and scoop her in his arms,
Confidently he scooped her up
Lovingly he cradled her in the deep
And I could see her relax into him.

And instantly I saw us! I realized that that's what you have done for me so many times, when the water is rough-
You scoop me up and protect me with your love!
