The Stowaway (for Percy)
I just wanted an adventure.
I should not have been there.
Hiding below.
Thank God he cared for me.
Trapped with hope,
until it sinks.
So too I.
Thank God he cared for me.
I was not planned for.
No supplies, no bed,
no role reserved.
Thank God he cared for me.
We carried the Caird.
My feet frozen through,
the stowaway now useless.
Thank God he cared for me.
He sailed as we waited.
Inhospitable refuge.
I was in agony.
Thank God he cared for me.
There because I had hidden.
He acted as if I were chosen.
He fed me.
He led me.
He returned for me.
Thank God he cared for me.
