That Moment…

  • NB: Written for a friend of mine, who will know who she is 🙂

    That Moment

    Every breath you’ve ever taken
    Every step you’ve ever made
    Has lead you right here to this moment
    Where your whole life will change

    You don’t know if you can do it,
    You don’t know if you can be brave…
    Your heart is beating faster
    And you feel so afraid

    The world is looking down on you
    And you feel so very small
    Insignificant to everything
    With no knowledge of your power

    But as the seconds on the clock
    Slowly tick away
    That fear that had beheld you
    Begins to fade away

    And then before you’ve had a chance
    To think and process the situation
    The spotlight is now upon you
    And its all down to your actions

    You take a breath and shut your eyes,
    Knowing you are being watched
    You swallow all and any doubt
    Then you just let go…

    Whatever you do this very second
    Will change history and your life…
    Its truly such a power
    But its one that we all hold…

    Good luck…
