Impetuous Peter

Impetuous Peter, jumping
stepping out of the boat
walking without thinking
going to Jesus across the waves
blindly acting, acting out of his faith
Going because the Master called
We all must change
become like Peter
in that pure, beautiful moment
going when the Master calls
out onto the waters.
