Keep Stepping Up

I stepped out onto the baseball field of life Nervous flutters stirring inside me Realizing it was my time My time to bat Sweaty hands Nervous stomach Sweat rolling down my forehead Nothing was going to stop me I got in position I lifted my bat I closed my eyes I took a deep breath Trying to relax myself It was my time Yes, my time Trials and tribulations won't hinder me Hardships and persecution won't discourage me I'll survive no matter what I won't walk away I won't give up This is what I've waited for A chance to fulfill my dreams Dreams the Lord has given me This is what I thought to myself, as I stood there gripping my bat My face covered in sweat My heart pounding in my chest As I prepared to swing at whatever came my way Maybe I'll hit the ball out of the ballpark today So I braced myself, as the ball made its way to me Here it comes Here it comes I closed my eyes And I swung And……… And, what's next?
