Take Part
Step forth
Time to speak
Take a part
Take part
Practice
Take the microphone
Step forth
Enter your arena
What you’ve been waiting for
You have the floor
and choices
Speak up?
Speak clear?
Let your face fill with cheer
In that moment
of change
your brain’s rearrange
you will like it
I promise
and will relish
the next time
you step up
Don’t become cocky
but be brave
and confident
cocksure but balanced
Bold
then settle back
and let the next voice
take over
Don’t be jealous
if they do it better
What is better?
We take turns
remember -
you learned that
in Kindergarten
We all have a part
to practice
in this life
Let us be a member
of mankind
and kind for that matter
