For A.C.

With no effort the human body floats.

Couple this with two arms,

Cutting through the water.

Albert is an excellent swimmer.

He has buoyancy,

His arms act like an engine

Shredding through the dark sea,

His legs as rudders.

Albert uses this

To his fullest advantage.

And he loves the sea,

And he knows he is an excellent swimmer,

And he believes he should swim.

With each stroke, he knows

His body can’t fail him.

That if he keeps swimming,

He can emerge victorious upon shore

Having braved what is often

A harsh current.
