There Was a Time When I Swam

```

There was a time when I swam and swam

In the sea of ignorance-night.

And now I swim and swim

In the ocean of Lord’s Consciousness-Light.

There was a time when I loved and loved

Darkness-river and blindness-pool.

And now I go to my God’s

Closeness and Oneness-School.
