Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Going Beyond

A dad and son walked by the sea,
Along a pathway high and steep.
The ground beneath the boy broke free,
Sending him to the waters deep.
The boy's predicament was grim.
He cried out for help to his dad.
But his dad never learned to swim.
An old rope was all to be had.
The dad threw an end to his son,
Who grabbed it tight, but felt it break.
The dad called down what must be done,
"Grab beyond, son, for your own sake."

Beyond the break, he grabbed the rope.
Beyond despair, he grabbed for hope.
