Disciple

by Thomas M. Pender

I don't recall what inspired this short piece, but it is written from the point-of-view of an unspecified disciple of Jesus, on the day He walked on water. 

“Follow me,” He said as He stepped out

“And I will show you the Way.”

He trod slowly, His feet wet with

The sea,

And oh, how I longed to

Feel the cool salt beneath my toes.

But I was afraid,

And therefore

Unworthy.
