796. I do not know

I do not know
How to run
Alone.
Therefore my friend, Faith,
Accompanies me.

I do not know
How to dive
Alone.
Therefore my friend, Courage,
Accompanies me.

I do not know
How to fly
Alone.
Therefore my friend, Aspiration,
Accompanies me.

I do not know
How to go to God
Alone.
Therefore my friend, Surrender,
Accompanies me.
