Curtain Up

Out on the edge of something bigger than I

Not looking behind me I can’t reason why

It’s a matter of faith; it’s a matter of fact

I have to go now, I have to act

I cannot wait any longer my time has come

Will it go quickly, asking, have some

No fear I feel as I get prepared

I look across, the others seem scared

One final breath I take as I go

I’m on; it’s my turn, start up the show
