One foot in the water,
The other on the sand
Afraid to go in
Afraid to swim
Because I don’t know
What lies underneath
But I know I shouldn’t fear
Or be afraid of the unknown
But the feeling is familiar
I’ve felt it before
I feel the waves on crashing on me,
But I’m not moving from the shore
Step by step, into the water I go
Trusting that I won’t be alone
Because even when I reach the cold, deep waters
I will trust You even when I can’t touch the bottoms
I need to go all in
Or not go in at all
I need to not fear for when I slip & fall
I need to not be afraid to ask for help
I need to admit that I can’t do it myself
Because even if I struggle, to swim out more,
I can always make my way back to the shore
Not by myself, but of course with some help
I need to be humble, and not whine because
Things always get better, and I’m keeping that in mind
That feeling I once had, I’m trying to find
Xoxo, Savvy ❤
This is deep ! ❤
