An underwater cave;
Is where I wanted to go;
He said he knew a place;
Just forty feet below.
We got our gear together;
With tanks and ropes and thing;
So off, we did travel;
To see this wonderful thing.
Then downward we did travel;
The current soft and slow;
Until we found the opening;
Just forty feet below.
Into the cave we traveled;
Our lights all glowing bright;
I shinned the light around me;
Wow, what a beautiful sight.
As, we traveled onward;
Our ropes are all secure;
I marveled at the wonderful sight;
Of nothing I have no fear.
Then I hear, a terrible sound;
And the walls begin to shake;
Oh my god it’s time to go;
Before it seals our fate.
We swam toward the opening;
As rocks are falling down;
Then I take, a quick look back;
My partner, is not around.
Without a thought I turn around;
And swim from where we came;
I knew I had to find him;
For I would be to blame;
I found him with a pile of rocks;
That had fallen from up high;
These rocks had fallen on him;
And pinned him at his thigh.
The rocks I started moving;
He told me I should go;
I knew I couldn’t leave him;
Though, our air was running low.
I grabbed a pony bottle ;
And had him breath from there;
I hoped, he would breathe gently;
For we would have to share.
I moved the last , of the rocks;
And we started to move on;
We’re still not out of danger;
For my air is now all gone.
We reached the entrance to the cave;
And started out ascent;
We dropped our weights, and up we swam;
Our air is now all spent.
As we broke the water surface;
The fresh air felt so great;
We looked at each other knowing;
We escaped a terrible fate.
