I’ve always been cautious,
Stayed on shore,
Waiting
For the courage to plunge
Some have attempted to push me
But no one agreed to do life’s little jigs
Alongside me.
You were the first to promise
To dance in the deep end
You jumped right in with me
Laughing the whole way.
When your time comes
I’ll help you float,
Push you to dance a little longer.

© Dylan T., Highland Village, TX

I wrote this poem a few years ago, and just remembered it was in my diary recently. I dedicate this poem to all the true friends in the world that stay by each other’s sides.
