Crossing the Water

Crossing the water
So slow, go faster
I want to get to my daughter
Stop a disaster

The spray on my face
adding to my tears
Please pick up the pace
Facing so many fears

Halfway across, nearly there
Is the sea fighting progress?
Offering up a prayer
Free me from this stress

Land under my feet
Such a relief
Finally, I am in Crete
Now to stop the grief.
