The Unexpected Ocean Swell
The unexplored beginning makes your heart leap
 You test the waters, and quickly wade right in
 You soak your skin and are surprised by the cold
 But you let it wash over you and revel in the new
 
 You see other and feel your body clench
 But the water sweeps you close and gives you confidence
 They welcome you and you are surprised by the ease of friendship
 You bask in their love and feel yourself grow
 
 The others dive deep below the waters and wave you to follow 
 You feel your heart pound, anxious of the unexplored
 But you straiten your spine and push under the water
 You are surprised by the joy you feel of letting yourself go
 
 The others slow down unsure of their next move 
 You quickly jump forward leading them through the twists 
 You break the surface to see a timid child wading
 You smile as the cycle begins anew
