We gaze at the deep waters everyday
But we feel safer in the shallow end
the murky depths make us a bit uneasy
too many unknowns with which we have to contend
But what do the shallow waters provide?
There is little danger, perhaps this is true
Everything is clear; no mysteries surround us
No need to reach further; no dreams to pursue
As frightening as it is
Through the deep waters we must tread
To find out what strength lies within our hearts
To discover what opportunities lie ahead
Imagine the possibilities that exist
When we stick just one big toe in the deep end
Suddenly, we feel a surge of empowerment
And the once frightening unknown turns into a welcome friend
