What if?

Standing on the edge of a cliff

Her only question was "What if?

What if I jump now,

And take a final bow? "

She leaned over the cliff's edge,

Before leaving she'd make one last pledge:

That if she got another chance

She wouldn't be afraid to dance.

As she took a deep breath in

She heard the softest words: "Lift your chin."

She stopped and turned but saw no one.

"My child, turn to me and run."

Taking a step back in complete amazement,

On her knees she fell, head bent,

"What if I fail and disappoint you?"

"My child, in me you will be made new."
