On the Sidelines
On the Sidelines
by Rick Rucker
On the sidelines do you stand,
When you should grab Life by the Hand?
Are you a participant,
Or do you say, "No, I really can't?"
If you leave living 'til too late,
Will you start at the Pearly Gate?
Will St. Peter just say "Tsk'"
Because you never took a risk?
Did you never take a fall,
'Cause you were afraid to risk it all?
I don't think you're really Living,
Life gives back but what you're Giving!
