The Edge

Walk with me to the edge of the plank.
You’ll be walking on air.

Stand and face the fire with me.
You will not be burned.

Skate on the thinnest ice with the sharpest blade.
You’ll neither drown nor bleed.

Drive the fastest car down the steepest mountain.
You’ll never be afraid.

For I have walked to the back of beyond.

For I have been licked by the hottest flames
And soaked by the coldest water.

I’ve done all these and so much more.
I’d do it all again for you, with you.

You’ll never be scared.
You’ll always be safe.

As long as you and I are
On the edge together.
