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?
