I'm standing on the high board
The board is made of choice
It's here I'll consider my options
Before I take my plunge and chosen course
I'm standing at the edge
My toes curl round the end
I need to make a decision
A push from a helpful friend
My hands & arms outstretched
An arrow to my destination
The cool pool water is calling me
I tremble with hesitation
It's now of never
I bounce and tuck
I plunge into the depth
No turning back
I'm swimming to the surface
I kick my legs and keep afloat
I'm deep with my chosen course
I hope this time it works
