Hole

Am I falling
Or am I jumping
I think I jumped

This hole is too big for me
I cannot see the top
I haven't yet hit the bottom

Did I jump
Or was I pushed
I think I jumped

If only I had a rope
Maybe I could climb the rope
At least I would stop going down

I'm still falling
I don't like falling
I think I jumped

Will you be my rope
You are strong
You won't break when I climb

I did jump
But I had help
Why did I jump

My Lord be my rope
So I won't fall
I can climb I won't jump

They said they wouldn't let me slip
But they pushed
I think I jumped

I will see the light
When I reach the top
Of this hole
