Let's get together
and build a raft
we'll make it strong
to hold us above the water
I don't want to drown
neither do you
our raft will carry us
to the next portage
we can decide where to go
from there
we've fallen in deep water
the current is pulling us down
together we can stay afloat
we can live and stay strong
till we reach the paths on shore
we might go on one together, or two apart
but we need each other now
past these treacherous rapids
when the need is gone
the raft will remain
if we make it strong enough.

These days, we need to pay more attention to our rafts and those who cling to them. Thanks for these good words.
