Of Christ Walking On Water

 A biblical story from the days of old

Christ walked on water as we are told

The authenticity in this is not for me to say

Though such things in Nature happen every day

Coots walking on water one often does see

These dark dumpy looking water birds do this regularly

Running or walking on water to them comes quite naturally

But in Nature no miracles is how it seems to be

Of coots running or walking on water you will not hear anyone say

I witnessed a miracle on the lake today

Coots are just water birds in most peoples eyes

To legend their behaviour never gives rise

When Jesus Christ was in his physical prime

And this is going back many centuries in time

He walked on the waves of  Galilee

That this was a miracle most would agree.

But the dark water birds coots on water can walk or run

To them it comes natural they do it for fun

None say coots can perform miracles but from centuries long gone

Of Christ walking on water the legend lives on.
