Best Step Up Poems


Step Up
I gotta get my head straight
I know whats waiting
Ive been there
Ì`ve stood at hell`s gate
Instead of destroying
I`ve decided I`ll try to create
taking the steps to start fresh
Let`s call it a clean slate

I see there can be more to life
than being a decomposing pile of flesh
riddled...

Let Compassion Step Up To the Plate
The gospel episode of the Good Samaritan 
mirrors the soul of the person replete with compassion; 
although animosity has shaped the racial slur 
between Jews  and Samaritans ; like a clash of the titans.

That biblical motif, ‘who is my neighbor?’ makes sense,
it gives a...

Step Up For Christ
When we see there's hope in life,
We must step up for Christ.
When we know He paid the price,
We must step up for Christ.
We must tell of His sacrifice,
We must step up for Christ.
He's in need for brave soldiers to fight,
We must step up for Christ.
Victory...

Premium Member Step Up and Finish
Ambitious and dogged determined, a dreamer is he
		Never contented to be held in any form of captivity

		Never allowing one's self to be treated insignificantly
		Like an eagle is he, always longing to be free

		Never knowing how far one could go, a visionary is he
		The broad and...

Premium Member Who Will Step Up
Ukraine's army is battle-ready, battle-tested
  The rest of Europe's forces, merely rested
None have fought in many a year
  Them fighting Russia moves one to tears

Defending Ukraine is NATO's best bet
  with its tough-as-nails army
and the fierce will of its people to survive...

Step Up and Lose
Many of you claim to be the best.
But silly little children prepare to fail this test.
You try you fail.
Im the wolf you the stupid 
dog that  chases its tail.

A razor blade tongue just as sharp my wit.
Breaking the simple minds.
The weak always quit.

I pick...

Life Is Not a Box of Chocs When Trying To Step Up
20 so plus teacher educator's

Primed ready

Standing like naughty school children
in line 

Patiently awaiting castigation

From the board , proud parent's and overlord's

Who firmly believe they can do what
they do only 20 time's better

Never actually having done the job itself

Or knowing what dedication or magnitude 
that job...

Premium Member Heroes Proactively Step Up
Heroes are not born or bread
They proactively step up
And pre-fix things

Wait until Uncle Lester gets here.
He will know what to do
Especially if he brings Aunt Inez....

STEP UP

Been down too long step up
Fell on the ground step up
Lost touch with God pray up
Now He hasn't left me
I left Him, He's always by my side
I choose to not anymore deny
I'll hold His hand He forever continues to hold mine
Now and everlasting for...

Step Up!
You waltz into our lives,
Like some invisible ghost,
Now we are supposed to,
Just sit back and watch you take away,
The one thing that we both look toward.
How are we supposed to react,
When it seems that,
Every time your around,
It seems that we are completely ignored.
We know nothing...

Premium Member Please Step Up If I Step Back
Amongst the many other things I'm sorry
So sorry my heart breaks in two
As angry as I've ever been
My soul's wish would be to save you

My power rests not with saving
But with offering you some time
Choosing a good day of yours 
And merging it with mine
