Diving Off a Cliff

Upon this cliff I'm gripped with fear;
Do I dive down or stand right here?
Will I begin to swim or drown?
Or do I remain here, head down?

Shining across is yellow sun;
I wonder if my life's begun.
Beaming on my face rays of hope
in face of this slippery slope.

I stand here risking all my heart
wondering should we grow apart?
The time has come to take the dive
and that's how I will come alive!
