I remember as a child I had a deep seeded fear of heights br I would envision my demise long prior to even a possible fall br Once as a teenage boy I knocked a front tooth from my mouth br When I jumped twenty feet into a drainage ditch next to our house br My mother rushed me to the dentist with my tooth in milk br He soon restored my youthful smile br But did little if any at all to replace my fear of falling br As I still panicked whenever I even stood close to a ledge.... br For the last sixty years I have managed to cope more or less br Always waking up before any tragedy occurred br But last night upon being led to this cliff in my life br I jumped and have not landed yet br as I knew it was a bottomless pit I was entering....
