Let's Jump In

Sometimes ‘jump-into-something’ has a negative connotation

But let’s revisit that saying and define it

As an affirmation

Let’s jump-into-faith

Leaving behind every opportunity for doubt to close the gate

Let’s jump-into-delight

Abandoning the things that cause us fright

Let’s jump-into-hope

Dismissing all that makes it impossible to cope

Let’s jump-into-joy

Letting go of what is meant to maim and destroy

Let's jump-into-gladness

Leaping over everything that brings us sadness

Let's jump-into-love

Moving out of reach of darkness before it hovers above

Let’s jump-into-pride

Releasing all the dignity we have stored inside 

Let’s give 'jump-into-something'  

One more consideration

And assign it a label of positivity and inspiration

Let's  jump-into-something
