Go ahead and Jump!
Go ahead and Jump!This is a part of ‘Theme Thursday’ at http://themethursday.blogspot.com/.
Don't let them tell you that you can't
Put on those shoes and Jump!
The sky is never that far
Go outside, breathe in the air
Don't forget to Jump!
Remember the childhood days
Those big open schoolyards
The long stone slides
And how it all began
With a tiny jump
Or a friendly bump
And you lived a lifetime
In those ten seconds of freefall
Go ahead and Jump!
Pretend that the world isn't watching
Climb that tree, as high as you can
Then jump, and fall
Into that soft pile of red leaves
Then again, and again
Till that free laughter jumps out
And joins you
Jump, one more time, with that laughter
Till you're smothered by it
Jump while you sing
Or while you dance
Jump in front of the mirror, alone
Jump hand in hand with a friend
Or with your loved one
Follow the train track, disappearing into the distance
Balancing one foot in front of the other
And hear the shrill whistle behind you
Jump off the tracks, and stare in wonder
As the giant, chugging train rolls by
Jump, till you feel the blood gushing through
Jump, till you feel the air inside you
Live a little, breathe a lot
And remember,
Don't forget to Jump!
