Submerge Yourself

It's ok.
Put your toe in the water.
I promise not to splash.
I won't let the tide roll in
And drag you under.
Just ease yourself in
And believe in your steps.
I'm your adventure
Calling your name
The one you've been staring at
From your safe ground.
I'm ready for you
To jump right in,
But I know that's not your style.
So find your reasons
And discard your doubts
And step into the waters of your life.
The waters that are full of things
You've only dreamt of,
Full of parts of yourself
You've not met yet.
I'll hold them here forever
Until you're ready
To take the plunge.
But yes,
Someday you must be ready
And one day you must let
The waves of life take you for a ride,
Lest you find yourself
Standing alone on the shore,
Sure-footed on your safe ground
But forever wondering
What might have been
If only you'd had the courage
To dive deep into this life.
