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

Dear Kim, I absolutely loved your poem! It’s such a motivating way to step up and share our voices. Your encouragement to be brave yet humble really touches the soul. I especially enjoyed the playful lines about being “cocksure but balanced”—that’s such a great way to put it! Keep sharing your inspiring words. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Happy Earlybird Thanksgiving, my friend! I’m glad you liked that playful line! I will have to share this poem with my grandson who might get a speaking part. Hugs

With the subject of speech as its backdrop, your poem takes on the challenge of stepping forth, from kindergarten through college, through adulthood. Really enjoyed it, Kim. Thanks, Gershon
