Just Once. (My Everything x Destiny's Home)

I went paddle boarding once.

As I set out on

The Sarasota Bay

The warm sun invited me

Out from under the trees.

I saw amazing things once.

As I moved through the

sea I saw manatees.

The hot sun beckoned me

To lay down, feel the breeze.

I felt the peace and calm once.

As I floated ‘cross

The crystal clear water,

The sun just disappeared.

I held hands with Dest’ny.

I woke up from a dream once.

As I sat up on

The board I realized quickly

I had stranded myself.

Destiny let me go.

I battled with the tide once.

As I spun my board

‘Round one-eighty degrees,

The tide throwing me back,

I paddled toward the shore.

I checked my surroundings once.

As I looked up I

Saw I hadn’t gone anywhere.

I stopped trying and I

Drifted farther from home.

I gave up one time. Just once.

As I gave up on

Myself I heard Dest’ny

Offered hope, offered love,

I picked up my paddle.

I gave my everything once.

As I incorrect-

ly gripped that old paddle,

Poorly swinging side-to-side,

I inched closer to home.

I overcame my fear once.

As I coasted in

To shore I realized that

The scorching sun was no

Match for Destiny’s voice.
