Swimming Pool
Damon Michael Gough
Do you think it matters where you're born?
No, not really, it only matters
That you can be proud of where you came from.
I don't think I know who I am anymore
What about the world
What do you mean
Well if the world was a better place,
Some of these bad things wouldn't happen.
Yeah but there's good things all around,
You just have to look longer and harder
To see them sometimes.
Praise god
For the water
Our son, and our daughter
The sun is here, it will stay a while
Long enough to bring out a smile
The swimming pool is on order
We'll fill it with water
Then swim
To the other side
Full of life and filled with pride
