We all say that the present is where it’s at,
But yet we all don’t want to measure up and be the first to take the bat.
Maybe we are afraid to make the hit,
Or maybe we are afraid that once this light is lit…
Well, maybe it won’t burn out.
We all have these doubts.
The stronger of us address it,
But none of us can truly be said to be the strongest.
We all squirm at the uncertainty of what tomorrow holds for me and you.
But, to be honest, we are quite overdue.
I’ll take the first hit and run to the first base,
But I expect you to likewise do the same with much haste.
I’ll continue on to the second and to the third,
I’ll make it to the end.
I’ll take up this bat again.
