As a kid I was always afraid to swim
No fears of the water, But rather the possibilities of drowning
I grew up frighten of the possibility of love
And then as time pa**ed, I learned to crave for it
The desire to possess a love
A love so deep that the ocean would be jealous
A magnificent captivation that I'll just leave it for Philosophers to tell it
From once being a soul once scared of it, I stepped in to the waters letting the fears go
In fact I'm drowning in love, it has stolen my breath
And the joys are pushing me down further
I'm now caught up in its depth
I was once scared to get in
Testing the waters of affection were too cold for me
Terrified that the it's shallow state would be too deep
Jumping in was certainly out of the question
But without any preparation, Temptation pushed me in
Hard!
And straight down into the pool I dived
I drowned in my miseries but my Faith brought me afloat
But as I gasped for air, I reached up with all my might and there was Hope
Now I'm swimming all around this pool
Lap after Lap with no more fear of sinking under
What we don't realize is that Love is this body of water
Waiting for us all to give up on doubt, and just dive into it's promises
Now I'm all drenched in it's wetness
Proclaiming to never step foot out of this pool of love
Ready and anxious to try even bigger things with it
Prepared to dive deep down into the ocean
It takes my pride and all my devotion
It's beauty is unique
Let me jump in
Head first, Swimming amongst the shores pool until I reach my peak
Love's waters wash away my worries
And cleanse the very pains of my past
