On the Big Stage

On the big stage the bright spotlight shine on me
With a large crowd cheering me on

Many have come from far and near to watch me give love
This act of love we share on the big stage

Yet on the big stage lies a lot of uncertainty
It takes courage to deliver on the big stage

On the outside it looks all rosy
But a lot of tension and doubt lie on the inside

But how can I fail the crowd?
Who for my sake, have come from far to see the big stage

So I walk unto the big stage
With a smile on my face and a hopeful heart
And begin to do what I know how to do best

Suddenly a calm voice tells me everything will be alright
Suddenly am propelled into a world of utmost ecstasy
Where there are no boundaries
With the crowd moving and moving

At last as I walk down the stage
 glad I put smiles on the faces of many

Hi Dorothy, you seem to have a way with smiles. You sure put a smile on my face. Thank you for the open stage act and sharing your heart. :), Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup.
