In that same hour, on self-same river,
emerged a foundling, sputtering, alive.
The water's power, displayed so clearly,
cheating death, instilling life.
"Child Saved", read the headline.
"Had to be God-ordained."
Baptismal river, resurrection.
Child raised up from a watery grave.
Baptismal river, over-flowing.
Words and water seal our days.
